Standing room only for the session on Humor (wow!! @DisastrousComms & @vonmeding) —I think this tells you volumes about how important it is to laugh every now and then, especially in the face of all the hard topics we study.

Really excited about this session on films! If only the workshop were a week later so we could have had a group field trip to Twisters!!

It’s such a blessing to have James Rattling Leaf here at the #HazWs again. I’m so happy that we are finally beginning to acknowledge traditional, Indigenous knowledges in spaces it has historically been left out of.

I had to catch my flight home so I didn’t get to stay for the closing of the Researcher’s Meeting, but I want to thank @sarahamide and @sab_loos for another year of their wonderful leadership. I’m so happy I got to see them in person and can’t wait for next year 🙂

Such a perfect way to close our 48th #HazWs — hearing Norma share about Bill and how important raising the voices of those who have historically been excluded in the hazards research and workforce space is. @BAFFellows @HazCenter

I’m very proud to share that I found out that I am the first postdoc at Dalhousie to be a PI on an Insight Development Grant.
I’ll be framing university labor disruption as a hazard that uniquely impacts those residing in a dual role as instructor (strike actor) and student.
