There have been consistent problems with #PikaScience leadership over the past year with a lack of transparency to the cast, a lack of and inconsistencies in group structure/operations, continual asks of cast members to perform more and more uncompensated labor, [1/n]

I’m officially leaving the cast of PikaScience and not for fun reasons! I no longer endorse the group & its activities, but I sure am going to still talk about Pokémon & science in other avenues 😁 Check out the reasons why I left in a statement I wrote below. #PikaScience

A new experience I’m having in the realm of Tribal politics is that some community members opposed to me have been referring to me as a Marine Biologist as a pejorative. Like I wish I knew more about dolphins and crabs, and knew how to scuba dive 😂

Today I completed the Biology of Parasitism (BoP) course at the Marine Biological Lab! I got to learn all things parasite ranging from bioinformatics, cell bio, to immunology, and work with many different parasites. Grateful to all the work that went into this course! #MBLBoP2025

Excited to share that my story is featured in this week's edition of Science Magazine! Being able to do my research with my Tribe & in my homelands has been so impactful personally and for my career. It's important for other young Indigenous researches to know it's possible!
