US mines are literally throwing away critical minerals. There’s enough lithium in one year of U.S. mine waste to power 10 million electric vehicles. grist.org/science/us-m... #Mining #Climate #Mines #Lithium #EV #Batteries #Minerals

I saw someone have this on a bio, and damn, GOALS "I respond to as many messages as I can, don't read or make comments and have no other socials. Try it, it's easier on your relationships and you get more work done (and do less damage in the world)."

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

Excited to host my first event here @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social! We will be having a session on Indigenous land restoration with two baddies in the field, Dr. Melinda Adams @scholarmelinda.bsky.social and Dr. Cherie Devore (aka AISES Early Career Scholar of the year) on Oct. 10th!

I got this sent to me from a Pascua Yaqui undergraduate student in Tucson who is in a soils class this semester. She said it was so meaningful to see not only women but someone from her tribe up there. I just about cried. This work matters. We matter ❤️🤍💙

If you use @gbif.org data, please take our survey! It will help inform us on how to advance Indigenous data governance efforts with GBiF & open biodiversity data. Should take 15-20 mins; partial answers are ok! THANK YOU!

New Mexico setting the standard! Love my home state 🫶🏽

American Samoa says no to deep-sea mining. The Trump administration might do it anyway. The CEO of a seabed mining startup says the decision about mining leases will be made in Washington, D.C. grist.org/indigenous/a... #Mining #Oceans #Animals #Climate #Environment #Policy #Politics

New York climate week… what advice do you have for a first timer? Where is the weekly agenda for things? It feels so scattered and overwhelming lol😅.

Complete #dogfood is, by definition, supposed to be nutritionally replete in macro- & micronutrients. #Plantbased diets for #dogs can provide #nutrition adequacy, especially if supplemented with select micronutrients: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Funniest/most maddening conversation is hearing my dad trying to explain to my mom how WiFi works 🤣 Bless this man’s patience 😭🙏🏽😭

Do you work with data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (@gbif.org)? Please take our survey as we conduct a broad review of current experience and beliefs within the biodiversity data community on issues related to Indigenous data governance & sovereignty gbif.link/Indigenous-d...

if we don't start doing something radical - i mean completely disengaging and dismantling the machine known as capitalism and colonization - we are ALL going to soon pay the price its not too late. its never too late with Mother Nature. the question is: who is coming with us?

Promotion and tenure (P&T) systems rely on external evaluations by arms-length reviewers. Here we find that gender influences the content of these letters... So much so that P&T candidates with more women letter writers were more likely to receive tenure! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some of these LinkedIn profiles are getting a little too self congratulatory in the word soup they use, lol: “visionary” “world renowned expert” (less than 10 years experience) “leader in the field of generalism” (what does that even mean)? Or maybe I’m just a hater lol.

Any suggestions of scholarship on wearing technology (smart watches, oura rings, ovulation tracking apps) and data privacy considerations? I’d love to include some of this scholarship in my class! Thanks in advance 🙂

"While reforestation can contribute significantly to tackling climate change, its global potential is only a fraction of what’s been claimed" @pepcanadell.bsky.social theconversation.com/the-climate-... Article: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Woohoo! Hit 500 citations today :) Thank you to everyone who's engaged with my scholarship. I am so appreciative!🙏

Both the countries of Denmark and Greenland have apologized this week for the mistreatment of Indigenous girls and women for incidents that date back to the 1960s, including forced contraception.

“If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would "financially ruin" the entire AI industry.” arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Asking for myself: does anyone know an Indigenous women in science at an Ivy League? I am looking for mentoring around navigating the specific elements of Ivy institutions as an early career rooted in community work… and I don’t seem to have any one to ask for advice. It’s lonely out here 🥺

Gotta give a big shout to my colleague Dr. Riley Taitongfong for coining “settler ‘splaining” to refer to when colonial institutions (universities, individuals, politicians lol) explain things to Tribal Nations… think “manspaining” with a colonial touch.

There are billions of #biodiversity observations worldwide 🌱🐞. Yet, almost none of them have associated #IndigenousDataSovereignty rights assigned to the data. I'm looking forward to participating in this upcoming panel at #ClimateWeekNYC on these issues. RSVP to join: lnkd.in/g6zb_TXr

NYC 2025 Climate week! Excited to be there in the action and for this session hosted by @localcontexts.bsky.social

Wait! Did you say you're looking for Soil Profile Rock Characteristics by Bedrock Type? Well, we've got a dataset for you!

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked the proposed #OakFlat land swap, giving copper mine opponents a late-breaking reprieve! Statement below by Wendsler Nosie Sr from Apache Stronghold.

On Point at @wbur.org with Meghna Chakrabarti had an interesting conversation this week with Dariush Mozaffarian from @tuftsnutrition.bsky.social, Kate Bauer from University of Michigan, and several SNAP participants, about waiver policies restricting what one can buy. www.wbur.org/onpoint/2025...

Big Colorado River news: “Arizona will again go without 18% of its total Colorado River allocation, while Mexico loses 5%. The reduction for Nevada will stay at 7%. California won’t face any cuts because it has senior water rights and is last to lose in times of shortage.” apnews.com/article/colo...

The paper highlights actionable steps to help improve these double standards, including more RESEARCH RELATED LANGUAGE in P &T letters for Black, Hispanic and Indigenous women to improve their outcomes.

Now this is a state of emergency that federal funds should be going towards! More than 400 heat related deaths in Phoenix so far this year, with 369 more still under investigation; most likely a lot of unsheltered relatives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

lol, write about decolonizing science and the colonizer scientists really reveal themselves, but also demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of the scientific process, and their willingness to co-opt Indigenous expertise as their own.

sorry you're experiencing record breaking temperatures and drought. Have you tried deleted some of photos of your grandmother about it?

Not the point of the article but gentrification is making our spicy food less spicy and it kills me. Long live picante spice!

I love this visual abstract! What a fantastic paper. Check it out!

Looking forward to this panel today here in NYC with New York Academy of Sciences #Scicomm

Yukon is known for its Klondike gold rush in the late 1800's, and though 100+ years have passed, some of its minerals legislation is still rooted in the past. Now, the Yukon government is taking steps to revamp its mining laws, but some aren’t happy about it.

I love going for trail runs in New England, but as an Indigenous person, these trail makes are so cross (and even make my dog pissed). I teach a whole section in my class about outdoor recreation & signage. Trail names are intentional in educating the public and who does and doesn’t belong.

Alligator Alcatraz has been halted because of the Miccosukee Tribe. But look at how it's reported. Native people constantly fight for not only the land, but human rights -- and their contributions are consistently erased. And everyone does it. Erasing Native voices is the true American pastime.

“Increasing the presence of Indigenous researchers in a university benefits Indigenous students, who gain from being taught, mentored and supervised by Indigenous scientists in a variety of fields.” This is so impactful and empowering. Also the colleagues and collaborators who engage too! 1/2

As the piece notes, the PragerU propaganda is being used in schools in Louisiana, Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho. Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.

Being a desert kid newly relocated to the North East, I find peoples attitude about water so interesting; people really take it for granted, don’t conserve, see it as limitless and the environmental issues here are based on too much water. It makes my head swell how different our attitudes are!

I might be chronically online, but damn I have some good class examples for discussion for my class on data as an extracted resource and power mapping to solutions 🤩

New Hampshire summer has been my favorite season so far… this desert girl is made for warm weather and outdoor adventures on mountains and rivers 😍

One zombie factoid is so pervasive in my field that I knew a corrective footnote in my book wouldn’t suffice. So last year I published a whole article debunking & explaining how it undermines #Indigenous knowledge. It’s bad already; LLMs will make it worse. academic.oup.com/bioscience/a... #pocosin
