Just showed the documentary film version of Oreskes' book to one of my classes. It continues to serve as one of the most important socio-political analyses of the Century, explaining how we got to where we are today (including how we ended up with a climate denier US President).

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… @PNASNews -> nature.com/articles/d41586-0… #ScienceCareer

Why does #Mexico want to protect its native maize diversity from #GMOs? Behold, from Oaxaca Biodiversity Fair. Great resolve from 1000+ at Agroecology Conference. #sinmaiznohaypais. @IATP @victor_suarez @Afsafrica @drvandanashiva @viaorganica @Conahcyt_Mex @_SemillasdeVida

a classic technoscientific solution to problems that colonial-capitalist agriculture constitutively creates. Rather than dismantle CAFOs, contract farming, & vertical integrated giants like Tyson and Perdue, the "breakthrough" is to edit the poor birds.🐣

new in our special issue by Keitlyn Alcántara, Milpa ecologies: Transgenerational foodways in Tlaxcala Mexico. Although agroecology is rooted in indigenous origins, the global adoption of agroecology often focuses heavily on what is planted but fails >>
