5 young talents and cameras explored water issues in northern #Brazil for 1 week with @tyronefoto @rumoabsb2018 !

PhD-position: Long-term governance of climate adaptation in Urban Deltas - WUR #phd wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd…

Loved experimenting with facilitating a pro-action cafe at the NEWAVE summer school and bringing in techniques I’ve worked with from #artofhosting and at @Waterlution to change the way we present our research - how to do it in a “different way” from a conference model!

After the last round of the ESRs'projects pro-action café, we are now moving to a #roleplay: our researchers are grouping to form a Scientific Committee and come up with a brand new programme for a #water #governance #conference. Which themes will emerge from our play?!

❓What are some of the key water questions and issues within water governance? We asked our Early Stage Researchers to brain storm on this idea. We then clustered their answers in themes and ask each of the ESR to link their research with 2 categories

What’s the role of #knowledge and #researchers in the development of #water policies? How to communicate to policy audiences, and how to develop a policy brief? @nuriahmora @Juliamarfer @dustingarrick guide us through these and more questions on #science #policy communication

Nicest moments of connection in the inspiring co-creative space @apocapocbcn, thanks for hosting @NEWAVE_NETWORK Summer School! @Dona_gea @porada_hannah @mariebelland @AleBurchardL @stewmotta @javi_rros @ShahanaBilalova @Juliamarfer @Jampel_D_A @CateMarinetti and many more!!

Fantastic paper on the role of youth in water governance! @NEWAVE_NETWORK

The music speaks for itself: "... Trop de coup d'état en Afrique... Ça suffit..." Coup d'État @ALPHABLONDY0 @briefmenews youtu.be/Y4p7ahySjyg

Y por supuesto, otro de mis momentos de máximo orgullo: cuando una de mis estudiantes de doctorado defendió su tesis con sus tres hijos adolescentes a su lado. Mi mamá estuvo en la defensa también (de mi lado, virtual). Los dos lloramos cuando le dieron la mención honorífica.

La discusión sobre cómo la academia es hostil a las mujeres, en particular aquellas que eligen ser madres, siempre me toca de manera particular por lo que ví creciendo en mi entorno, pero también por mis estudiantes y tesistas. Por eso siempre ofrezco todo el apoyo posible.

Ella se fue a España a hacer su doctorado en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid ya habiendo criado 5 hijos. El día que más orgullo he sentido en mi vida ha sido en su defensa de tesis doctoral (summa cum laude). Por ella uso mis apellidos como Pacheco-Vega con guioncito.

Mi mamá tuvo cinco hijos (todos varones), y pudo realizar su doctorado hasta que crecimos. Ella era profesora de tiempo completo, y tuvo que luchar contra muchos estereotipos y "techos de cristal". Diariamente fui testigo de sus luchas contra las estructuras de la academia.

Quiero agradecer la confianza del Presidente Electo, Gabriel Boric. Asumo el cargo de ministra Medio Ambiente a trabajar por un gobierno que enfrenta la crisis climática: crisis hídrica, implementar ley CC, SBAP y trabajar x zonas de sacrificio serán algunas de las prioridades🌱

Excited to see the diversity and experience in @gabrielboric 's cabinet, and @maisarojas as the next Minister of the Environment of Chile! latercera.com/politica/notic…

Why is it important to study #Paradigms in #Water #Governance? E.g. #IWRM, Water #security, #resilience, #nexus... This is a question we have started to explore in @NEWAVE_NETWORK. Check out our latest blog post! nextwatergovernance.net/blog/kicking-o…

🌿Last week our #ESRs held an #ESRsBoardMeeting reflecting on the past year. From first sessions online to meeting in person at last, this year taught our fellows to stay patient, persevere, and to trust the process and oneself

Mind-blowing scenes in Santiago, where hundreds of thousands have flocked onto the streets to celebrate Gabriel Boric's victory

@jwbartlett92 @gabrielboric said interesting things in his 1st speech after election: "respect for human rights is always and everywhere an unshakable commitment and that we will never, for any reason, ever again have a president who declares war on his own people."

Very excited with the future of Chilean politics! @gabrielboric is the new and youngest president of the last century at 35 and will work towards the new constitution of Chile: towards transformation and democracy for Chile. All the best!

@alix_ler Congrats!! You rock! Curious to read your work!
