Congratulations @_lschroeder — an amazing accomplishment for a wonderful professor and researcher. I am so honoured to have had the privilege to learn from you, work with you, and to be mentored by you! 💫

@AydinQuach I’m sorry that that’s the response you’re being met with. It’s incredibly frustrating that immigrant parents can have such narrow views of what “work” looks like. What you’re doing is hard work & it should be recognized 😔 (Also, having fun is important!)

@kawaiilovesarah sad i missed the live version of this, but thank you so much for sharing your slides, recap, resources, etc💛

[teaching theory thread] i'm chatting virtually today @ 10-11AM EST about teaching strategies for student mental health and neurodivergence for DEDI 2023! ⭐️ ZOOM ROOM (live vers.): #success" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">yorku.zoom.us/j/96758261089?… 💛 will recap in this thread ⭐️ will record video playback

@sarahesilverman Thank you for your time and work on this! I have shared with my peers 💓

@Edweeeeeeen Very much so & it’s so difficult to overcome! 😥 But seeing people like you in the SE Asian community doing such interesting & important work reminds me of what we can do / create for our communities in this space 😊

@cat_hytr Indeed! 🙌🏽 Impostor syndrome is also very real 🥹😬

When I returned from the UK after having finished my master’s degree in Forensic Anthropology (FA), I honestly felt lost again because I had nowhere to go for work where I could apply all I learned during my one-year studies abroad. +

@Edweeeeeeen So happy you feel confident to refer to yourself as a forensic anthropologist! 💫 It’s so difficult feeling like you’re not doing enough / don’t have enough experience to identify as an FA, especially with barriers in place that may prevent access to such opportunities 😔

But now 🧚🏼‍♂️ I can finally call myself *with confidence* a forensic anthropologist, and it feels so damn good! 🤘🏽💀😭 Sincerest thanks to everyone who has been helping me advance in my career 🙌🏽🙏🏽🥹🥹🥹 +

@anthrocaro Congrats, this is great 👏

Hot off the ~digital~ press! My first, first-author paper is finally published! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I really urge folks to read this email sent by a current SFU Football Athlete that elicits the mere difficulty and harm being caused to them. Sign the open letter below and support the fight to reinstate the program! @sfufootball.momsquad/letter-to-the-sfu-president-following-in-my-familys-footsteps-d3d6f0f0abe5" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@sfufootball.m… @SFUMomSquad thanks for posting!

Just one week until the May 1 Nation-wide Walkout—a protest demanding increased 🇨🇦 federal investments for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. They are driving our innovation economy & deserve a livable wage. RSVP and spread the word! #SupportOurScience 1/4

@ericakls So nice to see you again, Erica!

I had such a wonderful time at #HBA2023! Met inspiring researchers and learned about some awesome, ongoing biocultural research 🤩🤩🤩. Flew back home feeling energized and ready to jump back into research (which is saying a lot, coming from an introvert!)!!

@ColdCaseCass @BiologicalAnth @SFUArchaeology Thanks Cass 😊

#AABA2023 has come to a close and my first in-person with @BiologicalAnth experience could not have gone better! So grateful for the opportunity to share my work at @SFUArchaeology and connect with / learn from so many amazing people. Can’t wait for #AABA2024!

Shoutout to @macroporosity for the photo! 📷

This year’s #CODURS showcased amazing research from undergrads! Two years ago, I presented my first poster with @_lschroeder there and last night, I mentored at my first in-person AABA conference. Can’t wait for Day 2 of #AABA2023!

@sfu_agsc @SFUArchaeology @iso__topo @socarchsci Congratulations, @iso__topo! 👏

SFU archaeology rocked at this year’s SAA meeting! 🎉 Please join us in congratulating @SFUArchaeology PhD student Valentina Martinoia (@iso__topo) for being awarded the RE Taylor Poster Award from the @socarchsci for her research on social inequality in Neolithic Croatia...

as a #firstgenstudent, conflicted feelings of guilt for pursuing academia seep into every step of the journey & are exhausting. please be kind to first gen & low income students, especially during this time of year 🍂

Removing the term “imposter syndrome” from my vocabulary & recognizing the role of a system that was not designed with someone like me in mind
