2/2 profits are private and the environmental and social devastation are left for the public (governments or communities) to $olve for themselves. Here's is something similar but in the new world of Big Data, AI and Genome resources.

1/2 You've seen several "Tragedy of the Commons" slides that describe how public tax dollars are used to build infrastructure, supplement agriculture & energy companies & how that "public contract / public charge" gets abused where the profits are private and the environmental & social devastation

The NIH is moving towards "de-siloing" datasets and laws by moving ancient DNA into the biomedical sphere. It's a grave danger to Indigenous Nations globally, but especially here in the USA
This is so cool. As someone who used TKTL1 in the past as a potential example of the “sapiens edge” it’s fascinating that a handful of people get by perfectly well (and even excel) without it!
While stories of singular DNA changes that drove evolution of human brain/behaviour remain seductive, advances across multiple fields of biology cast doubt on such simplistic narratives of our origins. A new paper from my lab shows how biobanks may speak to this fundamental question.🧪

2/2 hyper-individualism of the rancher's rights. Little respect, if any, is given to Tribal Governments and Law Enforcement. It's a trend today w/ LLMs/AI & Sewer Water which threatens 1st Nations!! That's the USA biased and Settler-Colonial-Invader media for you! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We recently lost $6 million due to NIH budget cuts. Like many, we depend on public departments to fund vital research and infrastructure in Indian Country. We always reachout to philanthropists, but we feel people, like you can also take pride in fostering our mission. vimeo.com/1142541296/e...

Hi world of Philanthropy & @nativegiving.bsky.social @ncig2013.bsky.social @mediaindigena.bsky.social @indigenousdatalab.bsky.social @fnigc.bsky.social we're glad Patrick McGovern took a chance on our 501C3. Native Governance, oversight, rights, & OCAP aren't popular. Together we'll change that!
