perspectives & values

My perspectives and values make me who I am, beyond just my science. In this portion of my site, read more about how I view the world, how I view my science, and how I view myself.

This page is an ever-growing landing page, and as such I'll add more to each section as I continue doing research and reflection. Check out my reading lists for some books, papers, and lectures that I have found helpful during my science career.
Decolonization
  • Where I live & work (land acknowledgements)
  • My decolonization journey
  • Going beyond land acknowledgement
  • Land-grab universities [NEW]
Personal 
  • Asexuality, impostor syndrome, and belonging (originally published in Sister STEM)
  • What does it mean to be an ecologist? (reflection on my own insecurity of being an ecologist)
  • The first symptom (reflection on a near-death experience)
  • A scientist's responsibility (reflection on the dissertation defense experience)
