So many of us have had horrible experiences with bullying, gaslighting, & being worn down by people in out field. This initiative needs our help to get a grasp on what this looks like to work towards creating a safer workspace for us all. I'll be filling it in, please share ❤️

This is a lense from a codfish eye. Take a close look — everything you see through it is upside down! As seen at the Ektafiskur fish processing plant in Iceland, where I’m currently touring as an expert for Smithsonian Journeys!
