Dizaaam! An important reminder that in the age of big data, companies might go down but data is still a hefty sellable asset. Also see Pokémon Go and their sale of their data set to Ninantic. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/19/r...

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants. Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Can any of you cool mycologists out there tell me why the ones in front are white and why the ones in the back (on the left photo) are black? Are they different species? Are the white ones alive? I have so many questions!

Happy Pub Day to ONE WAY WITCH book 2 in the SHE WHO KNOWS trilogy. Someone called it a book about Africanfuturist witches. Yes. “One Way Witch is another Nnedi Okorafor classic, a statement on politics, gender and history delivered as an unputdownable sci-fi & fantasy adventure.” -BookPage

Breaking news: New civil rights division chief said more than 100 attorneys have left their jobs, in many cases because they disagreed with the office’s new focus on combating anti-Christian bias, transgender athletes in women’s sports, and “woke ideology.”

In my resource extraction & Indigenous led solutions class, we are discussing mining this week! We did a little muffin mining activity today to get everyone into the headspace of mining—but a much more delicious version 😆 most of the class was pretty environmentally cautious !

Coming back from the 2025 Geoscience Alliance Conference, featuring the work of Indigenous geoscientists in environmental justice. Indigenous communities and young scientists are doing such innovative science 😍 many times on shoestring budgets! Sharing because I want to celebrate Indigenous JOY

Some might wonder how some universities can afford to resist, given the amount at stake. One short-term strategy we see Harvard, Princeton, and other elites utilize is to raise money through bonds. Not a rare thing for them to do and very wise in this moment. www.insidehighered.com/news/governa...

The intellectual isolation of the US is a serious problem for all of us. The article features a couple of our outspoken Sydney HPS grad students. Obstacles to the brilliant trans student doing a PhD in the US are very disturbing. #STS @4sonline.bsky.social @hpspodcast.bsky.social @sthv.bsky.social

Gotta give a big shout to my colleague Dr. Riley Taitongfong for coining “settler ‘splaining” to refer to when colonial institutions (universities, individuals, politicians lol) explain things to Tribal Nations… think “manspaining” with a colonial touch.
