Excited to share that my story is featured in this week's edition of Science Magazine! Being able to do my research with my Tribe & in my homelands has been so impactful personally and for my career.
It's important for other young Indigenous researches to know it's possible!

Congratulations to @UAWRegion9A-endorsed candidate for NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani! We’re proud to see a pro-union candidate who’s always stood on the side of our UAW siblings and the working people of NYC win the primary.
📢UAW Statement on New York Mayoral Primary Race
“The working class is done with business as usual. We were proud to be the first union to endorse Zohran because it’s time for a political movement that puts the working class first. Our members spoke out and turned out in a big way -- and we’re just getting started.
Congratulations to @UAWRegion9A Director Brandon Mancilla on an exceptional field operation. Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani for building a movement, and congratulations to the working-class New Yorkers for showing the world that when we unite and stand up, nobody can stand in our way!” @ShawnFainUAW
“The days of taking labor’s vote for granted are over. It’s time for labor to think about a bigger vision that lifts up and includes all working-class people. UAW members stepped up to fight for an affordable New York--and went to the mat for Zohran--because he made it clear whose side he’s on: workers.” UAW Region 9A Director Brandon Mancilla

UAW President Shawn Fain on NYC mayor:
“We need new elected leaders not afraid to pick a side—politicians who will put workers over corporate donors every single time. That’s why our union is proud to support Zohran Mamdani & a ranked slate of pro-worker champions for mayor.”
“We need new elected leaders who are not afraid to pick a side — politicians who will put workers over corporate donors every single time. That’s why our union is proud to support @ZohranKMamdani and a ranked slate of pro-worker champions for Mayor.” – @ShawnFainUAW
Our NYC UAW members want a better, safer, and more affordable city. Someone who passes up the opportunity to support workers in a time of crisis, that person is unfit to be mayor of working-class New Yorkers. When UAW members needed Andrew Cuomo, Cuomo showed cowardice. So, New Yorkers, don’t get fooled again. #DontRankCuomo

very sorry this person is having to deal with AI slop at their job but this is the funniest image I've seen on here in like six months
I'm working on a freelance project and the people paying specifically asked us to use a specific big name brand AI to generate the images for the project (kill me pls) and look at this garbage. They want professional graphics and are requiring gen AI. I'm gonna kms.

🇰🇭 #Cambodia: A mine-detecting rat named Ronin has set a new world record for being the first rodent to detect over 100 land mines and other unexploded munitions. Ronin’s performance far surpassed the previous record set by another rat named Magawa, who was awarded a gold medal of heroism for finding 71 mines. Cambodia has long struggled with unexploded munitions in the wake of the country’s 20-year civil war, with an estimated four to six million munitions remaining.

Director of the Nat'l Institute of Child Health & Human Development (NICHD) was summarily dismissed yesterday. Here's your reminder that birth defects kill twice as many American kids as cancer but there is no St. Jude's for birth defects. Only the NICHD.
