My university (@westernu.ca) is offering up to $160,000 CAD in funding to support doctoral students impacted by recent changes in higher ed in the US.

And I'm keen on supervising students who may be interested (and who conduct research in public health ethics). DM me.

This interview may not be seen as helpful in this moment to scientists who see "politics" as a dirty word.

But there is no outside the social. We help train Indigenous scientists to do science with joy in support of Indigenous life & governance, and we'll continue amidst volatile settler politics.
