Hi! And dope, it's definitely needed!

Critical Ecology (SOCIAL SYSTEMS + ENVIRONMENT) with Dr. Suzanne Pierre — alie ward How do societal structures affect the planet? Why should we get to know our neighbors? What’s the ecological price we pay for … stuff? Yep, there’s an -ology for that. We chat with the founder of Crit...

Following Jordan’s suggestion: I found this thread while searching for Dr. Pierre/ the Critical Ecology Lab because I’m re-listening to her episode from @ologies.bsky.social, definitely recommend (I listened twice when it first aired 🤓)

Also hi, fellow nerds!

Hi! I definitely recommend checking out Dr. Suzanne Pierre's work at the Critical Ecology Lab

My name is Jordan Chapman! I'm a geoarchaeologist (a geoscientist and archaeologist put together). I'm a PhD student in geoscience at Baylor University. I study how enslaved agriculture may have impacted soils in the southern United States. I also do a lot of #scicomm. Feel free to reach out!

If you know any Black scientists trying to get into science communication and journalism send them my way
