Had a great time in Missoula this weekend as part of the Sloan Indigenous Graduate Partnership exchange program. From learning about wildlife management strategies to the implementation of Indian Education for All Act in STEM classes, it was inspiring to see what UM and MSU students are up to! 🌱 🧪

Currently watching meterologist Chad Evans, who was fired from WLFI by Allen Media Group's choice to end local weather forecasts, give updates to our Tornado Warning here in West Lafayette, IN. Sad and frustrated that I'm having to watch a Facebook livestream to see if I need to take shelter.

Five years ago, we went into spring break not fully knowing the impact COVID-19 would have on our lives. I'm worried to see what the state of the US will be when Purdue students return to campus in 10 days.

As a former REU student, this sucks. The REU program was my first taste in R1 research while attending a liberal arts college. We need REUs.
