LOVE seeing the work on @nativebio.bsky.social and @joseph-yracheta.bsky.social highlighted in the NYT. More good news of Indigenous data champions! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/s...

Appreciate having some of my work highlighted in this youth accessible publication! Thanks so much @snexplores.bsky.social and @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social Looking forward to continuing to build this work out, as well as building new relationships.

I learned today that I cannot in fact take good videos of myself running, while running with my phone, and instead face planted. But damn was it a beautiful run! Proud of you influences for having better spatial awareness and making it look easy 😂

Proud to share the second policy brief emerging from the Past, Present, and Future Indigenous Data Sovereignty Needs in Agriculture Workshop. indigenousdatalab.org/wp-content/u...

A fun article that highlights some of my past and present work with Indigenous communities around data and land relations. I also loved learning about the other projects using dance and music! www.snexplores.org/article/scie...

I just spent the last half hour laying on the concrete in the sun, in all black, soaking up the sunshine like a damn lizard 🦎 I love the desert 🌵 😭 AZ winters are the bestttttt

“Just-shoring insists on a reordering of power in the extractive sector, centring the rights and interests of those whose lands and livelihoods bear its costs.” Professor @1nativesoilnerd.bsky.social co-writes an opinion piece in @natenergy.nature.com on how to achieve global energy transition goals

a study spanning multiple continents involving 50+ co-authors has found that the oceans added a record amount of heat in 2025—the energy equivalent of 12 atomic bombs going off in the ocean, one of the authors told me it's the eighth year in a row that the oceans have broken heat records like this

The news has been heavyyyyyy today so I want to interrupt it with the beautiful morning I had running the trails in the rain with my fur bestie. Can you smell the creosote? Hear the land absorbing the water? The Sonoran desert in the rain is my favorite 🫶🏽

Just love it here 😭🫶🏽 Happy New Year from the Sonoran Desert

ICE IS IN WISCONSIN ICE IS IN THE ONEIDA INDIAN NATION OF WISCONSIN And it’s all thanks to small business owners and leaders, and they’re not going to stop selling us out just because they got caught once! This has to stop!

The multi-billion-dollar fund doesn’t directly support the communities that bear the brunt of the health disparities wrought by lack of healthcare infrastructure in the US: Native Americans and Alaska Natives, who have the lowest life expectancy. nativenewsonline.net/health/feds-...

The way I love Southern New Mexico 😍 Beautiful soils, few people, the Rio Grande, and hot springs! And green chile 🤤(obviously!) #nmtrue

Christmas Eve’s Eve in Northern New Mexico and it’s in the 60’s. As someone escaping New England’s winters I am not mad about it, but it makes me worried for the lands that raised me & summer fire season. #climatechangeishere Also— what a glorious single track trail 😍 #NMtrue

Rewatching Idiocracy and yikessss why is it so close to our political reality?! 😩😩😩 Also, they are all wearing crocs 🤣🤣

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering. www.newsweek.com/map-us-strik...

Wild to be in Tucson in December where it's been in 70s-80s and mosquitos are still out! I don't think I've ever experienced mosquitos in December here!

Tribal Nations are increasingly using advanced economic tools to strengthen sovereignty and long-term self-determination. Foreign Trade Zones are one such tool. www.kosu.org/local-news/2...

No student should have to worry about being a victim when pursuing education. No professor or teacher should have to navigate gun violence either (thinking of past incidents at the University of Arizona and UNC, Chapel Hill). We need change now.

Super sad to have to last minute cancel #AGU2025, but a family emergency popped up. Have fun in NOLA for me! Go learn about our publishers guidelines at the Monday Town hall! TH13L - Announcing the Guidelines for Indigenous Data Governance in Scholarly Publishing agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me...

Brown University says there's an active shooter on campus. Emergency scanner says multiple victims, but unclear how many. Video footage viewed by the Brown Daily Herald "depicted several individuals lying on the ground near the Sciences Library appearing to be assisted by police."

When it comes to better ways of conducting science, who better than Arctic communities themselves? “Who else can do it but us? Are you going to develop something for Indigenous rights that serve our needs, and listen to and work toward the goals and the priorities of our communities?”

The most *chef's kiss* part of this story is when Instacart says it's the stores that set the prices and then the stores point the finger right back at Instacart and say they don't set the prices on the platform. truthout.org/articles/ins...

As we prepare to attend #AGU2025, important to note and prepare for the ICE occupation throughout NOLA; have all your documentation in order. This will no doubt deter international attendance www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
