Being in academia is so much more than research and publishing papers! @lifeinmud and myself discuss how life is as two early career researchers w a young son, and how much we benefit from each other and having support from our hosts and @carlsbergfondet nature.com/articles/d4158…

Wow! ♥️

I needed this. You’re welcome.

For me, today is that day we Canadian researchers all love. CCCV day (again).

Caregiver awards can be used to conferences (like AGU!) or fieldwork. This current round of applications covers winter-spring activities with the next round opening in spring 2025. Deadline for current round is Oct. 23rd!

Join us at the McGill Open House Sunday October 27 to learn more about undergraduate programs in Geography, Urban studies and Sustainability, Science and Society. Register here. We are excited to welcome you to our beautiful campus! @mcgillu @McGillScience

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

This brother is doing the most for these women🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I've stumbled upon 2 boxes of BW photos dating back to WWII of all kinds of things related to the #Arctic I can't wait to take a closer look and start organising them so they can be of use to others - I'm looking at you @aabjoerk @CoastDidier @lifeinmud @TundraTime @mkwardjones🎥

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today… As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.

@HarrisonWind The post-game interview with Jamal, where he was wearing Breonna Taylor and George Floyd on his shoes. That was so much more than basketball ✊🏿

What's the most iconic image in Denver Nuggets history, becasue these are all part of the conversation.

A brief reminder that I have an open, fully-funded, MSc position available starting next year. Details through the link. #geoprivacy platial.science/fully-funded-m…

@simon_sat @esa @ESA_EO @esaoperations @CopernicusEU @EU_Commission @CopernicusLand Many thanks Simon for this!

🚨🚨🚨I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Toxic Prisons Mapping Project, Beta - a participatory research initiative to map the environmental hazards faced by prisons, jails, and detention centers. See toxicprisons.com & 🧵 below

@simon_sat @esa @ESA_EO @esaoperations @CopernicusEU @EU_Commission @CopernicusLand What is the spatial resolution? 🛰️

Still time to submit to our session !

@sarahwcooley I'm so sorry for you and the family, Sarah. This is completely unreasonable! The universities should do everything in their power to offer sustainable childcare opportunies - particular as you say, since many of us don't have nearby family to help. Hoping for a little miracle 🤞🏼

Trying to get daycare for my child as an academic parent: a saga... At only 8 weeks pregnant, we started getting on daycare waitlists. The university campus daycare never returned our multiple phone calls, but we were able to get on three waiting lists at other places (1/n)

If you're going to #AGU2024, consider submitting to our session SY031 'Impacts of Mineral Extraction and Artisanal Mining on Societies and Natural Environments' @KHwave @DrChrisHackney

@ScientistsLift The best advice I got was to not be afraid to ask questions. You're new and no one expects you to know the new system and the university - people are happy to help!

Question for all Faculty: What’s your best piece of advice for incoming faculty members?

@DrChrisHackney @nuact_NCL @NCLPhysGeog Congrats Chris! I look forward to reading it 😃

This was a new experience...a first single author article. I argue for a recentering of transboundary river basin frameworks to put sediment on equal balance to water, with the example of the #Mekong @nuact_NCL @NCLPhysGeog rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@Riikka_Rinnan So happy to see your name on the list Riikka!! Congratulations 💪🏽

Excited to counterbalance the testosterone levels as a new member of the Royal Danish Academy of the Sciences and Letters!
