“I’ve also really valued the richly collaborative community, and being able to take a lot of risks in how I address the questions I have the opportunity to pursue,” says grad student Giselle Valdes, reflecting on her time at @MIT and Whitehead Institute.

Wow! Powerful. The Global Indigenous Data Sovereignty Movement is real and ITS HERE! Native Bio is lucky to work with such genius people. https://t.co/CUYDQb4HuY

Check out our paper on the “Governance of Indigenous data in open Earth systems science”

In this paper we give recommendations for actionable steps across the data ecosystem that recognize the sovereign rights of Indigenous Peoples. https://t.co/H7CK6e2aKg

This is the kind of thinking that the Federal Government & their corporate financiers (elections are funded by corps and data is used and patented by the same) engage in. Tribes must recognize this before partnering in BioMedical and Public Health Research https://t.co/Fwt4BF7lpN

"The End Police Violence Collective... had to work hard behind the scenes to educate skeptics that abolition & public health are, in effect, two sides of the same coin."

Check out this piece in @_inquest_ about folks working for abolition & public health!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS 🥳to @BrianTDo1 of @mvh_lab for defending his PhD!
A fearless scientist, deep thinker, and genuinely good person, he will go far in whatever he chooses to do and study.
It has been a true privilege to work with you - I have learned so much!

The situation in Sudan has been getting worse, fast. How bad? The limited information coming out of the country tell of shelling, mass graves, and burned villages. I looked at what the satellites could tell - and it was much worse than I imagined. https://t.co/OMjO10Ttm0
