Student perspective panel of the #G7 #G7Academies #ArcticSummit #ArcticSustainability starting! So happy that there is an entire panel dedicated to student / young researcher voice 👏👏👏 @RSCTheAcademies @g7 @DSP_SPE #NextGeneration #NextGenCanScience @Y7Canada
Students are often the ones with boots on the ground, interacting with local communities - this is one of the many reasons why it's important to have early career researchers represented in these discussions - @gwynmac #g7 #g7academies #arcticsustainability #ArcticSummit
Mentoring indigenous researchers is important & doable - @gwynmac presented a few slides on her research & methods to indigenous youth ➡ many were excited to get hands-on experience in research, some are now master's students #g7 #g7academies #ArcticSustainability #ArcticSummit
.@Marianne_Fa adds that funding to local communities is critical & currently insufficient, and that funding applications (even for student funding) should acknowledge importance of working w/ these communities #g7 #G7Academies #arcticsustainability #ArcticSummit
... it's important for metrics to reflect the reality of ECRs. Pursuing community engagement in the #arctic can mean slower pace of publication as a tradeoff, which plays against their career development given that this is the #1 criteria - @Marianne_Fa #g7 #G7Academies
adjusting funding structure of #tricouncil @NSERC_CRSNG @CIHR_IRSC @SSHRC_CRSH to provide recognition for research outcomes and outreach beyond publications incl time taken to incl communities in research & time for #scicomm is a clear step forward - @Marianne_Fa #g7 #G7Academies
⬆ This is fundamentally important! Students at large are asking for this. We @DSP_SPE recommended this in broader scope in our white paper from 2016: sp-exchange.ca/news/STEM-Whit…
#g7 #g7academies #ArcticSummit #ArcticSustainability
Recommendations provided at today's student perspective panel session ⬇️ #G7Academies #G7 #ArcticSustainability #ArcticSummit
Important distinction brought up by @Marianne_Fa - meaningful engagement and #scicomm aren't the same. Going into a community and asking questions has much more meaningful impact than simply discussing your research from a podium #g7 #g7academies #ArcticSustainability

#NSPNsymposium18 Dalal Najib
@theNASciences comes from #Casablanca in #Morocco and moved to @UMich for a #PhD on interaction of Mars & Venus atmosphere and solar winds. However, she had a crisis and wanted to give back to her community, and dove into #scipol, #ethics, #economics
She went on to do a Christine Mirzayan S&T fellowship via @aaas, one of the few options available to #international applicants (cc @IWS_Network). Wanting to engage #ECR, she applied for a position @theNASciences, got in, and never looked back #NSPNsymposium18
She now promotes #international development, security, and cooperation with @theNASciences, through #Science #technology and #innovation.

@theNASciences ≠ @NSF! The National academy is independent from govt and provides #scienceadvice and #evidence for #scipol

#NSPNsymposium18 @yfortiss starts off the session on Rebuilding Sustainable & Resilient #PuertoRico thru #Science @scipolnetwork
@SEPANYC

w/ @Sefini @sloan_kettering, Juan Ramirez @aaas @nahjUPRRP, and @fcoloninFL of Jasperi Consulting and former advisor to US Dept of State
Ramirez shows #NSPNsymposium18 the striking and dramatic impact of the #PuertoRico hurricane, and the impact on services and #infrastructure. Power was a prominent lasting impact. Cellphone signal was out for days, but once back the people got to work 💪
Pix of the student centre & research building at the university @nahjUPRRP soon after the hurricane in #PuertoRico, taken by Ramirez. Just over a year later, the regular semester and the natural beauty of the campus has returned 👏 #NSPNsymposium18

#CSPC2018 now at the participatory panel on funding for trainees.
Most voted model for support for trainees is direct via scholarship and fellowships (rather than thru institutions or via grants), and 52% prefer higher value to 48% wanting more awards. #CSPC2018

These are some of many questions in @DSP_SPE survey 📎 sp-exchange.ca/events/survey/
Some great #NRSA programs over at @NIH ⬇️ #CSPC2018 (see stipend amounts in pix)

No matter what or when, leaving an area gives opposition opportunity to potentially regroup... This is true.

To bend to this argument would mean PERMANENT occupation.

Think about it.
There does come a point when the folks of a region need to become responsible and accountable to themselves.
We cannot continually hold everyone's hand.
I must say the liberal left has tied themselves into knots on this issue proving its not about issues currently, it's about opposing Trump.
They didn't want the troops there in first place... Calling for immediate withdrawal... Until Trump announced the withdrawal that is. 🙄

I don’t see #Gülen doing enough to help the #Uyghurs of #EastTurkistan. He doesn’t seem to support #EastTurkestan Independence, so I don’t see what use he is for the #UnitedStates’ #HumanRights agenda. I’m beginning to think it’d be best if we hand him over to @TurkishEmbassy.
… then again, I question whether #Turkey’s sincere in their efforts to help the #Uyghurs of #EastTurkistan. Recent misguided efforts by the Turks to seize control of the ET Gov’t-in-Exile make me wonder whether they have ulterior motives (like using #Uighurs to fight the Kurds).
… the fact of the matter is that #Turkey is sitting on a powder keg of an economy. Skyrocketing debt, out-of-control inflation, significant potential for #HumanRights sanctions over the treatment of journalists. And that dang S-400 system from #Russia. I worry about #Ankara.

Happy MLB Deferment Day!

This thread is dedicated to all (shocker Bobby Bonilla isn't the only one!) of the current and future deferment payments given to MLB players.
The Cincinnati Reds are paying Bronson Arroyo $1,363,636 this season and that deferred payment continues through 2021.
The Washington Nationals have to cut a check to Rafael Soriano for $2,000,000 as a deferred payment in 2018 through 2024.

(THREAD--21 tweets) So this went well. Here’s what really happened at the G-7 summit in Charlevoix, Quebec. #g-7
1/ Trump magnanimously agrees to attend the G-7 summit--although he hates and despises the “rule-based international order” on which is based and all his instincts tell him to destroy it.
2/ Trump behaves like a man-baby at the conference, and alienates all the other G-7 members, without exception.

#perspective 2018's first 12 days have been a rollercoaster of Trumpian reactive oxygen-sucking media cycles, ranging from the "i got a bigger nuke button" to @MichaelWolffNYC s Fire&Fury to the shithole controversy, to finish w/ Stormy Daniels 1/
Sober,rational analysts of our current feverish "moment" are few&far between- @RadioFreeTom @NoahCRothman @ianbremmer @umairh try to provide sustenance to who are interested in immediate&mid-long term consequences of the circus show started on the gold plated escalator in 2015 2/
Throwing my hat into the ring, some random observations to pierce the #Trumpian-media feedback loop (ICYMI @MattGertz's must-follow tweets) : Trump's #Outsourced Presidency could have lasting consequences as it paradoxically shows 2 facets 3/
