We hope to see your abstracts in Session 51 - Informing #Freshwater Policy & Practice by Reflecting on Successes and Failures - an environment to share experiences in work that moves towards solutions for the freshwater #biodiversity crisis with @sjcfishy.bsky.social and Irena Creed (UofT)!

A close up photo showing all the fingernails and thumb nail facing the camera. There’s a gradient of colour across all the nails such that the pinkie and thumb and both fully blue, the middle is fully green, and the index and ring finders are ombré. The rainbow sheen of the magnetic topper shows best on the pinkie here since it’s a little out of focus. Each nail has either stripes or dots in dark orange, in addition to the black gill lines and black and white eyes.

A different angle close up on just 4 finger nails - this one shows the rainbow sheen a little better.

And for #ArtAdventCalendar day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.

Title, authors’ names, abstract, and keywords from a paper about the challenges and solutions for academic institutions in the co-production of knowledge with Indigenous peoples

Researchers are increasingly #co-producing #knowledge with #Indigenous peoples but academic institutional practices can disincentivize co-production. Grimm et al. draw on their experience to outline challenges and recommend “actionable solutions for academic institutions” doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

“It is not acceptable to recruit a variety of students into the laboratory, subject them to a variety of stress tests and abuses, and then keep the students who thrive under abuse and get rid of the students who aren't able to thrive in the lab. That's straight-up exploitation.”

👏👏👏

Bad mentors hurt people What to do about bad mentors?

You know those labs that keep harming students, again and again? Some reflections on why it's so hard to stop this from happening and where our responsibilities lie.

Jane Goodall mimicking a chimpanzee that is flaring its lips.

Absolutely devastated to hear about Jane Goodall's passing. She was a champion in the field and for women biologists. She will be sorely missed, but her memory will live on to inspire generations of biologists and conservationists.

Reconciliation includes recognizing Residential Schools are not the only colonial atrocity When it comes to reconciliation in Canada, we need to remember that the colonial history encompasses many assimilation tactics and its impacts are ongoing.
