This (prospective) project feels like a full-circle moment. It connects my interests in community-based research and environmental plastic through place-based methods in rural Newfoundland (one of my favourite places to be, ever). (5/6)

Right now, I spend most of my time in the lab doing a mix of wet and non-wet lab work. So this week, you’ll get a look into what’s going on in the CLEAR lab space. Maybe on this channel, but more action is on our insta page ;) (6/6)

We’re waking up our social media presence!🌱Every week, a different CLEAR member will share what life looks like in the lab, from wet lab work to community authorship. Each perspective is unique, showing the diff ways we think about what we do and *how* we do it. Stay tuned! 1/8

... since we do a lot of research with people who aren't academics, but who certainly contribute to research in foundational ways. So we now have a Community Researcher Co-Authorship and Attribution Working Group. 7/8 civiclaboratory.nl/2025/02/2…

I hope you find our work useful! One of my core goals as a (publicly-funded!) intellectual is to make a lot of resources that can be applied beyond my own work. The greatest thing ever is when someone else uses them. :) 8/8
