We’re in Nunatsiavut this week to share results in the final year of a nine year plastic monitoring project! And it’s good news: we’re not concerned about plastics as a contaminant in the region. If you’d like a copy of the final report, let us know!

Over 250 people were involved (inside page with names and photos)

Page from report: most of the time when we look for plastics, we find nothing (English and inuttitit)

Data viz showing plastics are very small, comparing size of plastics to common items like a grain of rice, Tylenol pill

Very excited for Homesick by Nick Shapiro. It tells a story of formaldehyde exposure from prefab trailers, which does some heavy, complex lifting itself. But what I love most is how it chronicles multiple approaches to activist research & how to let the research lead you. @dukepress.bsky.social

Squeeeee! Outlining a paper with @thelabandfield.bsky.social & @paulmccarney.bsky.social about community-based metrics & measure for contaminants research. Spoiler: they aren’t the usual Western science metrics.

A bunch of yellow post it notes on a desk with two computers showing graphs in the background.

See the handy-dandy chart that converts articles in the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) to articles in the draft Global Plastics Treaty. This chart and the paper are open access.

Good morning! Grateful for a little slice of light given all the cold, blowy white snow and grey clouds yesterday and in the near future. That’s not a metaphor, merely this morning’s weather, but take from it what you may.

Good morning! I hope your home is as cozy as a vole hole.

If you’re in Nain, join us for science and songs this coming week. We’re so excited to share five years of research data about plastics in Nunatsiavut, which involved over 200 people!

Good evening! The ice over Nunatsiavut was beautiful flying over today. It’s late for freeze up, but it’s almost there.

Good morning! I love it when it snows on top of the forest but not the ground. Good job, trees.

Good morning! It is sunrise in one minute but the sun has hit snooze. This has had no impact on Kookum’s excitement for the dawn.

Good morning! One of my favourite facilitated check-ins is called Weather Ball. Prompt: "If your feelings were weather, what would they be?" Sometimes, feelings & weather outside align. Today: a cold & windy winter day but with imminent promise of sunshine.
