I'm in the mood to acquire new knowledge. Anyone have fun facts to share? Weird theories and hypotheses also welcome.

As motivation, I promise to turn my favourite fact into a meme.

#FridayFacts
Come on Twitter, there’s no way @emmaweisbord is the only one who has cool facts to share. How am I supposed to procrastinate otherwise?
Thanks, Twitter, for stepping up your fact game. As promised, I will turn my favourite fun fact into a meme... in 18 hours. You have until then to dazzle me with your epic knowledge
After much unilateral deliberation, I present to you my favourite #FridayFact. @emmaweisbord - here is your meme. Use it wisely. Image

It's a Friday afternoon and I'm actively procrastinating, so here goes: Everything I've Learned about Networking in a Virtual World. A thread from an introvert's perspective. (1/) Image
I have a lot of conversations with students and young professionals starting out in #water, #sustainability, and #SciComm. From my admittedly unscientific sampling, #networking is a word that tends to carry negative associations. (2/)
Here's my reframe. Networking is an intentional process, focused not just on building connections, but on building the right connections. Successful networking means finding supporters, advocates, and even friends who will stay with you for the long term. (3/)

This week, Jordan Peterson published a commentary in the National Post. In it, he defends the scientific journal Angewandte Chemie and researcher Tomas Hudlicky for an essay published earlier this year that spoke out against diversity in science. Here's why Peterson is wrong: 1/6
Peterson says: "Hudlicky voiced a smattering of opinions deemed unacceptable by that small number of people who both read his submission and were somewhat active on Twitter." Let's flip that. Scientific institutions/journals have not historically been leaders on diversity. 2/6
Twitter, for all its flaws, provides a platform to call out discriminatory attitudes and opinions that may have been accepted in academic circles in the past. This isn't a case of Twitter being biased. It's a case of broken institutions being held to account. 3/6

New jobs thread for this week, focused on #environment, #sustainability, and #SciComm jobs in Canada. #COVID19 is taking a heavy toll on the economy, but it gives me hope to see organizations transitioning to virtual work and continuing to hire. #GreenJobs Image
A few of the jobs I posted in last week's thread are still active. You can see them here 👇
The Government of Canada is looking for volunteers to support national #COVID19 efforts, including case tracking/contact tracing, health system surge capacity, and case data collection/reporting.

I've applied. If you have the time/skills, you should too.
