A quick intro to the person behind this week's postings.

I'm Paul (he/him), a white settler researcher working with CLEAR on the Nunatsiavut Plastics research. I'm based in Old Crow, Yukon, the traditional and self-governing territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation.

In June this year, a group of us from the CLEAR Lab and the Natural History Museum went to Rigolet, Nunatsiavut to hold an on-the-land workshop to discuss plastics research. We also ran eBird to gather observations of a huge variety of seabirds, waterfowl, and shorebirds during a day on the ocean.

I (@paulmccarney.bsky.social) am listening to @biidaasamose.bsky.social & Robin Maynard narrate their powerful book "Rehearsals for Living," which highlights Indigenous and Black feminist struggles for justice & liberation & discusses the colonial & patriarchal foundations of policing in Canada!

This week we’re continuing to wake up our social media presence with… ME! 🌊

Hi everyone, I’m Riley Cotter. Right now, I'm a Research Specialist and MSc student (almost finished!) at CLEAR.

This week, I'm taking over our socials! My name is Max Liboiron and I direct CLEAR. Lately, I focus on plastics pollution + Indigenous quantitative methods. The question driving my work is, how do we do statistics in ways that align with Indigenous ethics and relations? 2/8

Through a partnership between co-leads, Liz Pijogge from the Nunatsiavut Government, @thelabandfield.bsky.social from the Natural History Museum, and @maxliboiron.bsky.social from Memorial University. Stay tuned for the next steps!
