My idea is to create a hybrid exhibition/museum to show the research and life on board, combining an online gallery (with photos, clips, infographics, etc) with a physical educational resource kit (with samples, lesson plans, zines) so that we have a better understanding of scientific expeditions.

As a science communicator and advocate for democratising science, I look forward to experimenting with ways we do outreach, public engagement, and community-centred science. Regards scientific expeditions, how can we engage the public and be transparent on how they happen and their purposes?

As a geologist, I’m excited to be back. In my interview, when they asked why I wanted to come to this expedition, my first answer was “because I really love volcanoes”, followed by my second answer of how I’m excited to be talking about geochemical cycling. I'm looking forward to seeing the action!

Hmm, green is my favourite colour for a reason (because it really is the best).

Community gardens were a godsend to my mental health, especially when I was being suffocated with anxiety near the end of my contract!

I mean... her writing centers Brown women pursuing white, conventionally attractive men & model minority behaviour. Not surprising that these spaces celebrates and gives "firsts" to marginalised folks who uphold their oppressive structures. I just wish our own community were more critical about it.

Yes, I wish I had nurturing friends who valued me and looked out for me in school and university but I can’t change the past. I do, however, now can recognise what is a healthy friendship and have since made many - I have no hesitation in pursuing new friends that make my life even more enjoyable.

First time since my PhD that I started having mental breakdowns. However, this time is different because I have developed friendships that genuinely care for me. Life can feel like a circle but it’s more like a… spiral? Fibonacci circle? Sadness feels less heavy when there’s others to share the load

If science doesn’t come with a FREE PALESTINE then fuck your science

It’s intentional - when you see examples of learnt lessons and successes, it empowers you. It’s intentional that our education system focuses on individuals who are/can be made palatable (eg by “working hard” to persuade colonisers) and erases/vilifies people power and resistance (eg direct action)

I think it’s intentional. Building a narrative that you’re either a rich right wing conservative protecting your power, white working class resorting to fascist politics, or liberal from privilege. If you do your homework, you can see a spectrum of how oppressed people have been organising
