Science is under attack, minorities are under attack, the environment is under attack, and resistance starts with us in little moments like these🧪✊🌏

The event was centered around discussing how science should be driven by community priorities, how communities are doing on the ground efforts for science and how all of us should listen and work together!!!

Grab a beer, take a seat, and let’s talk about all the things dirt can tell ya 🤓🧬🔬 Last week I got to talk about my research with the Eugene community at an event organized by UO’s @sacnas.bsky.social chapter + @beyondtoxics.org called “Environmental Justice in Eugene & Beyond”🌿

Advanced from professional dirt detective PhD student to professional dirt detective PhD candidate!!!🧬🌿🔬👩🏻‍🔬 Thank you to everyone who watched, I feel SO lucky that I get to do the work I do & I love every chance I get to communicate about science, especially when presenting in a room full of support🫶🏼
