Saturday, December 6th is Canada's National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women. It commemorates the '89 Montreal Massacre where 14 women were targeted & killed for daring to study engineering. Attend your local vigil & come learn community care with me zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Canada: where reconciliation is an orange shirt, not a responsibility upheld. And climate change a way for a banker to sell books until he gets a political job. Saying “it could be worse” (PP) misses that we all deserve better. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/f46fc77...

Hey Canadian colleagues- I don’t know this group but (1) I am always up for MOBILIZING and (2) I appreciate the effort to find a good acronym - look at the attention they gave to both the French and English!

The collapse of higher ed *everywhere* should be concerning to those who say they value democracy. Politicians across the spectrum are letting us down. This thread explains the situation in British higher ed, with excellent advice for these trying times. Care is political.

This is the energy I’m trying to channel.

I’ve had the privilege to see a lot of marine turtles in my life. Yesterday was special bc I got to share the experience with my kids for the first time.

I haven't seen a conservation social sciences starter pack so I decided to make one #ConSocSci #MarSocSci I am sure that I have missed people... please help me identify more people to add and let me know if you'd like me to add you! go.bsky.app/AdXdpZd

Organizing and hosting conferences is a TON of work. Generally under or unpaid work, for insufficient recognition. My HUGE gratitude to all the organizers and local hosts of #IMCC7 for their efforts to put together a fantastic meeting! You are appreciated ! @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

@taotaotasi.bsky.social kicks off today's #IMCC7 by highlighting how the wealthier nations with overseas EEZ's (legacy of colonialism) tend to favour putting large marine protected areas (MPAs) in those overseas areas rather than in their "local" waters. 1/5

#IMCC7 is great for many reasons - one of them is the chance to catch up with (and meet for the first time!) other Duke alum, students and faculty. @marinebiogeo.bsky.social @rebeccagruby.bsky.social @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

Fantastic morning session on Indigenous-led conservation in the Great Bear Sea #IMCC7 - lots of lessons learned through years of hard work. Culture, human well-being and conservation as inseparable

How AWESOME is it that social science is everywhere this week at #IMCC7? Sea change since my first IMCC in 2009. Looking forward to the “What next for marine social science” focus group that’s about to start - join us in Arum!

Finally gave up on that other site that won’t be named. Looking forward to getting to know this new platform this week at #IMCC7
