INTERNATIONAL SURVEY ON TREE OF LIFE
My PhD student Jocelyn Cheé-Santiago (Binnizá) is leading an online survey on scientific practices re: biodiversity, biocollections, conservation. If you work in these areas, we'd appreciate your insights. 10-15 mins. Details

British Sir Francis Galton rocking a Canadian tuxedo for American Eagle.

He wants you to know that he, too, has great jeans.

(Yes, this was the result of five minutes with an #AI image generator.)

This pretty much sums up a lot of my time on too many committees related to policy, ethics, equity, innovation, research, and healthcare in governmental and academic settings: #Indigenous #academia #policy

How does an #Indigenous scientist organize her bookshelf? With these FUN category labels (magnetic)!
- Anthropologists We Actually Like
- Dismantling Power Paradigms (data #feminist, #science communication, #decolonizing works)
- SH*# Non-Natives Say About Native #DNA
- On Race, Racism, and Racists

As a scientist, I appreciate the effort in signage/marketing. But I also wish the coffee shop was at Gate 27 instead. (Or even 58 for atomic weight, or 2 or 3 for valence…)

At OKC airport.

I love my BIO498/598 Biological Data Policy, Ethics, and Governance students!! We just wrapped up some amazing discussions on ‘who should build data ethics frameworks’ and now intellectual property and law!

With permission, here is one group’s renderings on ‘who should share in IP’?

It was so great to speak with ~100 undergraduate students today as their keynote for the Pacific Northwest LSAMP Conference at Oregon State University! These students will go far in STEM! Thanks also for letting me cross off the 49th of 50 states visited. lsamp.oregonstate.edu/conference

I am full of thanks to the Full Circle Symposium and @willowcoyote.bsky.social for creating a scientific space for futuristic and forward-thinking minds. It was a great way to reconnect. Also, thanks to @cheadlelab.bsky.social who snapped this picture:

Last week, our Lab taught Indigenous high school students from AZ Tribal Nations on ecological data. Our STEAM activity profiled Indigenous scholars (and themselves as STEM leaders!) through art. 🖼️

Here’s mine. “When I grow up, I want to be Associate Professor” and “Sleep more”
