Happy that our manuscript synthesizing management of marine disease is out! This was a big group effort including @sarahgravem@Laurel_Field@BachhuberSilke @shahennessey @maya_feezell @ckwhite92 (and many more not on twitter).

If you consider yourself an "ally", speak up when you see this!!! We're sick of having to advocate for ourselves, someone's gotta help us sooner or later
We act like fisheries is a boys' club bc of fishermen when the truth is that scientists are the ones in control of these spaces and most of them see nothing wrong with behavior like this
Went to one of my first fisheries focused meetings (coming from a kelp forest and nearshore ecology background)...and I have never felt more marginalized as a woman. Qs & comments ignored, talked down to, & almost no women spoke except those that were facilitating. That sucked.
A mentally ill houseless man was killed in Benton County Jail this weekend. The details haven't been revealed yet, but we can say this is almost certainly the fault of local law enforcement's nonstop attacks on our houseless neighbors.
RIP John Nelson

Japan and China are always mentioned by name as hyper-specific examples whenever possible but then when we discuss western fisheries collapsing it’s suddenly that fault of “people” and “humanity”??? Mmkay
Been reading some “older” (2000s and 2010s) books lately and wow we really don’t talk enough about how pervasive anti-Asian racism was (and is) in marine conservation

This is both true in the sense that cops are dangerous because of their systemic role, not their individual racism, but also because the education system is built to make us think these institutions are ok and just in the first place
I don’t quite understand how the solution to Alexander’s lack of credibility or trust with survivor community (or faculty or staff or students here or at his prior institution) is to put him in charge of plan to rebuild trust and lay out plan for survivor services.
“Budgeting issues” is not the defense you think it is for not supporting survivors. University officials are the ones responsible for making these a priority, and the fact that these resources don’t make the cut (at LSU or OSU or any other US college) tells me all I need to know
OSU students and faculty have long demanded antiracist education. Tell President Alexander and Provost Feser to support our faculty experts and FUND THE WORK of racial justice. Sign the petition: https://t.co/QtmB72nUhP
