1: TDR theories, principles and methods have been largely governed by researchers from the global North. To enable more context-sensitive TDR framing, we investigated contextual conditions impacting TDR in 6 case studies in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
2: Our results revealed several challenges that should be considered when conducting TDR in these contexts—though many may also be relevant in global North contexts:
#Sustainability and an ethos of #Care – something I am pondering about for quite a while now. Two recent publications offer new insights and inspirations – recommended reads!

“A feminist ethos for caring knowledge production in transdisciplinary sustainability science” offers insights into the work of María Puig de la Bellacasa and relates their ethos of care to #transdisciplinary #sustainability science.

The authors elaborate on three modes of knowledge production: (1) thinking-with, (2) dissenting-within and (3) thinking-for, and derive concrete actions to produce caring knowledge in #transdisciplinary #sustainability science.

📢New paper out in @mSystemsJ, coauthored w/ the amazing @MeghanAzad!
Inspired by community #ecology theory and computational #microbiome methods, we propose a novel strategy for studying #humanmilk.

We focused on 3 major barriers to understanding #breastmilk
1⃣Milk contains thousands of components, yet most studies analyze just one or a few
2⃣Milk changes over time, yet longitudinal studies are rare
3⃣We lack computational tools & methods to study milk as a complex SYSTEM

From a #DataScience perspective, to study complex biological processes such as #humanmilk and lactation, it is essential to take an integrative and ‘multi-layer’ approach.
📣New paper out in @mSystemsJ, coauthored w/ the fabulous @LiatShenhav!
In this review, we apply our (very!) different skillsets to propose a new strategy for studying #humanmilk as a biological system, using methods developed for #microbiome research.

👩🏻💻Liat is a computational scientist who develops bioinformatics methods to analyze microbiome data.
👩🏻🔬I am a human milk scientist who wants to study ALL THE THINGS in milk and figure out how they all work together.

Inspired by this @AJCNutrition review from @ParulChristian, @DrEmilyRSmith & others from @NIH & @gatesfoundation, Liat & I teamed up to brainstorm... 🧠

“Long-term commitment to supporting inter-& transdisciplinary research&to supporting capacity building for it,are needed…much collaboration starts from the bottom up, from curiosity,& supporting basic research is an essential foundation”Keyfindings @janeohlmeyer #shapeidtoolkit
“Inter- and transdisciplinary researchers need to be open, curious, willing to listen and learn, to leave their egos at the door when meeting with others, and to be motivated to collaborate.” @janeohlmeyer @TLRHub #shapeidtoolkit #interdisciplinary #transdisciplinary #AHSS #STEM
Imagine a near future in which the fictional University of #Leonia announces a degree program in #DiscardStudies. In doing so, they help to establish this emerging field with a full #curriculum, dedicated faculty, and eager student population. 1/10 @DiscardStudies | #Discard2020
At U of L, teaching discard studies is about more than talking #trash. This new program’s core trains students to use #SystemsThinking to critique #power as the structural force that renders material, people, and land as #waste in a globalized #ColonialCapitalist society. 2/10
Treating objects and organisms as "#disposable" has consequences, but the root of this #WickedProblem runs deep below the surface. Traditional disciplines are insufficient for studying waste bc they focus on the details and fail to recognize the full picture (Brown, 2010). 3/10

On defining #creativity @rexjung :
Distinct from #intelligence – a superhighway; #creativity as a slow meandering process down dirt road / side road
Must be both #novel and @useful – beyond simple #utility – something #new within a social context. Unexpected links ✨🤓✨
