URI's Metcalf Institute Island has named veteran journalist @FaraWarner as its next executive director. The institute, which fosters informed, inclusive public conversations about environmental issues has been led by Dr. Sunshine for past 17 years. #scicomm uri.edu/news/2023/10/u…

Curious for more insights on global inclusive scicomm work? Dr. Elizabeth Rasekoala will give a public keynote to highlight diverse perspectives from a new book on this topic at #ISCS23! inclusivescicomm.org

TFW your grant proposal is returned as non-compliant due to lacking tribal consult… BUT the local tribal organization literally submitted the proposal as the PI because they’re leading the research. Welcome to the structural barriers to Indigenous leadership in research. 😵‍💫

Don't miss out! Registration for #ISCS23 closes tomorrow, October 6. There's something for everyone here: journalists, community organizers, museum staff, government agencies, academics, educators, and more. If you want to center equity in your scicomm, this is the place to be.

Life Update: UCLA selected my book for their common experience program - meaning thousands of first year students will read the book + learn about environmental justice and intersectionality, regardless of their major, as they start their academic careers. WHAT A DREAM
