My experience with the PQ process wasn’t even “bad” and it was still horrible. It involved many unnecessary, costly, and dehumanizing exams/tests. I’m glad to see our community pushing back on these sexist, racist, homophobic, and ableist norms. https://t.co/76AcKMHNSm

How I have published no papers in my first 3 years of PhD, and entering my 4th:

- I do work that goes beyond publishing, which includes a ton of DEI work, something that most of the majority in academia cannot relate to.

And still, publishing culture does not care about this.

If you missed the Aurora last night and / or would like another go, then it looks like there is a good chance we’ll have another display this evening.

Everyone needs to remember the name Jaahnavi Kandula. She was a 23 year old student who was hit and killed by speeding Seattle police earlier this year. Other cops were then caught laughing about her death and calling her "limited value." She leaves behind a single mom in India

@granogan @ucsantabarbara Congratulations Dr. Bogan!!

This is awful and I’m not surprised, nor is any woman who has set foot in McMurdo.

What f***ing brave people these women are.

Women working in Antarctica say they were left to fend for themselves against sexual harassers - NZ Herald https://t.co/R5WM9r3wFB

I sadly know from experience that the U.S. Antarctic Program and NSF have utterly failed the women in their care working for them in #Antarctica, & glad the horror is being publicized. So proud of friends in this article, & so mad for the Ice community.

@NBedera I am so excited to read your work ♥️

It’s heartbreaking being a climate scientist.

Everyone you teach is a person first, student second. Your class and your assignments are not the most important thing in their lives and shouldn't be. Immediately labeling students as "lazy" or "unmotivated" is a distinct failure to understand the flaws in the academic system.

[Academic Exit @academic_exit]

Academic Stockholm Syndrome is far too real.

Let's call out some of the lies told by the academic system that erode its participants' self-worth.

Let's call out the lies so folks can make informed choices, not fearful ones.

My heart is with the #MauiFires survivors and #Lahaina community. I grieve for you and with you. The wildfire survivor community is here for you. ♥️

And if anyone needs a mask, hmu I got extra!

[Mandy Frazier (she/her) @msmandyjoyce]

Friendly reminder to #SCARbiology2023 friends that masking helps make our field safer and more accessible to our disabled colleagues! Our field is unfortunately very ableist and masking is a very important action you can take to show you care about DEI in polar science 🥰
