Hello #NativesBlueSky… my students are asking for a list of your favorite Indigenous STEM books… so I’m trying to crowd source to add to my own list. I am not sure how many are out here, but I thought I’d ask! I’ll compile the list and share when done!

One thing I really miss while being on an only undergrad campus is attending PhD thesis defenses. It's great science but also the deep respect shown for other scientists and the absolute joy is unmatched.

Caring about or working in science right now is all about answering questions: can we keep going? How do we keep going?
Sometimes our answers need to take the form of speeches.
Instead of certainty and details, we are being asked for direction. For comfort. For courage. For hope.

But what I told my departmental colleagues today was that I will not agree to do anything that will help re-segregate research or education at this university. Or that is inconsistent with the stated values and mission of this U.
And I won’t quit either; they’ll have to fire me.

Maybe you’re not going to lead. That’s okay! Instead of trying to generate strategy from scratch, listen to what you’re being asked for.
Maybe it’s your professional society, affinity groups on campus, local unions, etc.
Getting behind people you trust is essential & strategic.
