(2/3) The SA apartheid system was largely based on the Canadian Indian Act, status cards and reserve system. Let that digest. Canada was used as a template for racism.

[Meghan Brockington @Megbrockington]

(1/3) In my lab meeting yesterday we took an anti-racism workshop. I learned something about Canada's relationship to South Africa. In the 1940's politicians from SA came to Canada to learn about our system for keeping races separate.

@AstroAma @AcademicChatter YES! I did marine science in undergrad and now I am doing a PhD in epidemiology. Its all come full circle though because I do food security and fisheries research... Diversity has been such an asset! There was a some catching up in stats though, but it was doable!

[Meghan Brockington @Megbrockington]

@MarninaW @PhDVoice @OpenAcademics @AcademicChatter @jimstormcrow such a good idea, the sense of community is so important (and challenging in the pandemic)

[Meghan Brockington @Megbrockington]

What strategies are people using to maintain some semblance of productivity in yet another lockdown? To that end how are you staving off exacerbated PhD isolation and boredom from sitting in front of a computer all day?
