Can people in academia pls stop focusing on extracting Indigenous knowledges from vulnerable people/students and placing them in their colonial processes/structures & calling it reconciliation or two-eyed seeing. Instead work on building a relationship with the community.

The bias in science continues! Submitted a manuscript with my amazing and diverse team - many of us are non-Canadian, 7/8 are first language English speakers. YET reviewer claims ‘English is our second language’ - just insulting! #science

This. Dalhousie’s refusal to pay its employees fairly is the biggest disruption to its own standard of education, and it has been going on for years. #DalStrike

Abolish.

[James Woods @inartificial_84]

@HfxRegPolice Using a bike as a weapon for someone already sitting on the ground not even moving? You've got to be kidding me! Use of force continuum not followed. Fire officer and force employee to pay out whatever the victim asks for. No review needed. Video is all the proof you need.

[Sabrina Poirier (On Hiatus) 🇨🇦 @Sabrina_Poirier]

@HfxRegPolice @HfxRegPolice The officer should be fired and charged with assault. Nothing less will suffice.

This abuse of power and brutal contempt for protestors has no place in the role he accepted in our community.

[John van Gurp @jvangurp]

@HfxRegPolice The contempt that officer feels toward the protester is a sign that they are unsuited for police work.

[betsyhogan.bsky.social @StMattsBetsy]

@HfxRegPolice Honestly, that few seconds is like the ultimate distillation of what's deeply wrong in HRP. The ugliness of it. The contempt. The deliberate unnecessary violence, just for the sake of unleashing power. It's despicable and disgusting and we're done with it. Enough.

Our new paper by @nickzinck on the ocular cartilage is out! Did you know chondrocytes are different sizes in different cartilages and organisms? https://t.co/bvdU6POGzC #skeleton #devbio #cavefish #zebrafish

Had the opportunity to see Tiktaalik today at the @ROMtoronto! The fish that provided us with a major link in the fin-to-limb transition and the emergence of tetrapod distal limb anatomy. #ROM #YourInnerFish #Anatomy #paleontology

I remember breaking down to my Ph.D. advisor about how stupid I felt while troubleshooting a problem in my project when she handed me this paper. Years later it is still relevant to young students starting off in Science. It's ok to feel stupid, we all do on a regular basis.
