to all my relations

| Afro Indigenous | 24 | Marine Biologist (decolonize academia!) | I write (mostly non fiction | my thesis gives me brain damage) sometimes fiction on my free time. Spoiler alert: there is no free time. Here's where I drop everything related to my WIP(s) aswell as fandom stuff, random biology, latino and indigenous posting. (This is a sideblog!!!)

Hello studyblr! ˖°𓇼🌊⋆🐚🫧

I'm Nanu (She/They, 24) I'm a marine biology student currently working on my thesis :') (on contamination levels on artificial reef systems, if you even care! 🥹)

I'm particularly interested in black & indigenous voices in STEM and the decolonization of environmental sciences (integrating and centering traditional indigenous knowledge). Some of my favorite books on the topic so far are Becoming Kin by Patty Krawec and Our Knowledge Is Not Primitive by Wendy Makoons Geniusz 🩵

I'd like to be more active here and I'm looking for blogs to follow (and new mutuals? <3) so can you maybe like or reblog this post if you're a biologist, ecologist, botanist, or working in related fields?

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

And I'm not saying disability has to be the focal point of everyone's activism - there are countless causes which are just as worthy of dedicated attention - but if disabled people are not a part of your analysis and activism in any capacity, that IS bad, because there are disabled people in every demographic, and anyone can become disabled at any point.

Guy who has a non-research degree in a field that never studies human subjects: Here are my opinions on what needs to be done for me to respect this field I've decided to become a denier of.

[Extreme breach of scientific ethics]

[Violent abuse of power]

[Method that actually doesn't obtain any information]

[Controlled double-blind studies of phenomena where that is literally impossible]

[Seeking empirical proof that a word has the meaning that it's defined as]

[Study that would have a dropoff rate of 100%]

Additionally, how do we know that [best currently available theory] is true, and not [dominant theory from 100 years ago that repeatedly failed in the face of evidence]? I have found some minor methodological flaws in [studies that were not designed to prove the best available theory, but rather examine edge cases within that theory], so we should really consider [nonsense with no evidence backing it whatsoever].

Nature Documentary: these deep sea creatures can withstand crushing pressures of thousands of pounds per square inch!

Me: they’re not withstanding a goddamn thing. The pressure is a part of them. Their interiors and exteriors are equalized. Just because your respiratory system is built around a pair of fragile poppable bubbles-
