I've worked in conservation for 22 yrs. It's disheartening to see there are still foreigners conducting one-off trainings in the Philippines 🇵🇭 with little to no Filipino participants and 0 Filipino experts as resource persons/facilitators. Seems very 🚩 #ColonialScience 1/2

#Day1 of our #VGS conference ended with a brain-storming session. We discussed series of subjects like - #Ontonological clash, #ColonialScience, #IndigenousScience, #Capitalism, #Playingfields for climate discourse, #Global #Climate dialogue, global south perspective, etc.

What a stupid claim? Columbus syndrome is alive and kicking in India
Sacred forests are a living tradition in Khasi Hills. And what is this 'tribal conference hall'?

Since it’s #IndigenousHistoryMonth I'm sending love to the Indigenous & allied historians out there! I draw on histories of #colonialscience and #colonialmedicine to theorize how older ideas about racial difference shape newer ideas about biological variation. I LOVE historians!

Are you seriously kidding me rn? Not even one taxonomist author from Southeast Asia when it is 2023 and there are experts in hydrozoans from the region?? I cannot with this academic greediness and #ColonialScience

Because everyone needs to be reminded to do their homework. Do it well. Have a listen(or read) if you haven't yet. Thanks again @ConsRealist for this opportunity. #colonialscience #parachutescience

...but as we know, common sense isn't that common :P from Doc Jom at @BalyenaOrg on how foreign researchers can avoid parachute, colonial science

Colonial science. Parachute science. Something not talked about often enough but should. It's real. #colonialscience #parachutescience

From Episode 2 with Dr. Jo Marie Acebes, founder of @BalyenaOrg, on her experiences with colonial science in the marine mammal conservation realm in the Philippines

Because the relations with horse happened way before Europeans went into the west, horse cultures were created entirely in Indigenous terms. And if the horses came from Spain, as geneticists think, it happened incredibly fast—like 20th-c adoption of the automobile fast. 12/15

Infuriating that @NSF’s solution is a pet project to then brag about their #STEM diversity & inclusion efforts.🙄Easy, ask PR to educate the future workforce and let them suffer the brain drain caused by lack of opportunities to do science. #Arecibo #colonialscience

Said this 2020 after Radiotelescope collapsed and will say it again: "seeing Arecibo fall has underscored the pernicious effects of colonialism on [Puerto Rico]." Neglect, budget cuts, condescension, exclusion. It's all there, again, in NSF's new decision. space.com/arecibo-observator…

🕵♀️ In the course of investigating the confusing response fr @lamaveresearch in the OT thread, I came across 2 other papers they published using #BoholSea #mobula data fr the same period; these were also #DEI problematic and #ColonialScience

For instance, these 2 LAMAVE papers on #mobula rays using some Bohol Sea data from 2010-2013 and which again sidelined #PinoyScientists to the Acknowledgements. These are listed on their website lamave.org/our-impact/public…

We stopped #ColonialScience in the Virunga in just a year, built a new seismic network to protect our people in Goma. Working on a new GNSS network. We stay focused as #JobNotFinished.

#parachutescience #colonialscience the model where researchers from developed world come to countries like mine, do research & leave w/o any investment in human capacity or infrastructure,creates dependency on external expertise & cripples local conservation efforts -@ashadevos

Listing all biases would take days but being from outside the global north means I’ve worked many times harder to get here and I’m not letting it go to waste. I want anyone who relates to me to be able to soar past and take their rightful place at the table 3/4 #iamabiologist

I’m so curious about the relationship between invasive and native plants. Seems like a metaphor for reconciliation…finding a new balance? We’re looking to restore a City Park and want it to reflect these ideas.

Building on elements of the #globalhistory, we'll discuss historical cases of #colonialscience to revise the shadows and utility of the #ScientificRevolution as a historiographical concept for #histsci. This event is sponsored by @UniBergamo and @museogalileo (3/3)
