This is the last week our paper will be publicly available... sharing in case you want to add this to your course syllabus! Include ethical considerations into your ecology/soil science/data science/biodiversity course! nature.com/articles/s4155…

We reviewed peer-reviewed & grey literature on Indigenous participation in plastic pollution research. We found that "participation" ranged from "gathering data from Indigenous ppl" (traditional extraction) to Indigenous-led decision-making. 1/7 cambridge.org/core/journals/…

A great example of where to ask: how is Indigenous Data Sovereignty part of this convo? Ancient pueblos have contemporary relatives. How much data gets shared when using modern technologies like LiDAR ? What are the future uses of the information? krqe.com/news/new-mexic…

The Feminist WonderLab Collective's first piece is out as a pre-print! 🎉 How do you do feminist science when I don't study typical feminist topics? That's only part of what this wonderful group of collaborators is trying to figure out - together ❤️ Read & Join us 🌟

Please join me to congratulate my amazing mentor and leader of the Collaboratory for Indigenous Data Governance Dr. Stephanie Carroll Dr. Stephanie Russo Carroll on earning University of Arizona Women of Impact award! 🙌🏽🎉🌟she consistently shows me what genuine, healthy, and fearless leadership looks like. So well earned!

Yesterday we starting trading a new cohort of lab members! Welcome Bridget (right), Lana (left), Kelsey, Riley, and Melissa (not pictured). We’re looking forward to our shared work together. :)

Aamjiwnaang First Nation is surrounded by Chemical Valley, the largest concentration of petrochemical refining in Canada. This report reveals how data sharing with the community is manipulated to support the continued violation of land and life. Read more yellowheadinstitute.org/data-coloniali…

What a thoughtful way to organise paper authorship. "Equity in author order" civiclaboratory.nl/2016/05/23/equ… Great work @CLEAR_lab_ I am learning a lot. Thanks to 4D Oceans Lab for discussing this today. Dr Max Liboiron

We have full-time & part-time summer positions in the lab! Wet lab technician (based in St. John's), mapping/data work and historical research (the last two can be remote or in-person & applicants should be familiar with Nunatsivut) civiclaboratory.nl/2024/03/25/ful…

We have a year and a half long, full time position in the lab for a technician to process samples. Based on the St. John’s campus, CLEAR lab is a training lab that specializes in plastic pollution research and anticolonial, justice-based methods. civiclaboratory.nl/2024/03/25/ful…

Featuring CLEAR lab member Sam Morton!

It’s Super Grad Day at MUN Geography, which means CLEAR member Lana Vulteta presents on their project on plastics, ice and snow in Nunatsiavut!

Riley Cotter presenting on what people in Nain were asking & saying about surface water plastics in Nunastiavut.

Last MUN Geography master’s student proposal of the day: the talented Bridget Kakooza talks about plastics and Ringed seal.

If you’re in Hopedale (NL), you may have seen our team driving in circles in the harbour, along shorelines, and in the Nanuk centre. We’re collecting samples to monitor plastics in the area.

Congratulations to Dr. Alex Zahara for defending his dissertation, "Settler Fire Management: An Examination of Wildfire Policy, Practice & Research in the Boreal Forest Region of Northern Saskatchewan"! It exemplified foregrounded humility, responsibility & community-based work!

Happy Fall semester from CLEAR lab! (Special thanks to Alex Stead photography for the amazing photoshoot!)
