Happy birthday to #botanist Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919-2010), 🧪👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci renown algae expert, celebrated seaweed cook, devoted teacher and mentor, expert on Hawaiian ethnobotany, the first Indigenous Hawaiian woman to earn a doctorate in science and the first woman or person of colour to become 🧵

My linocut portrait of Isabella Aiona Abbott in indigo on cream coloured paper. She’s facing forward at a table in a shirt and sweater vest with a sheet with algae samples on the table. In my print, she is surrounded by algae of the Pacific, all of which appeared in Abbott's research publications, including several species she discovered, or based on images of specimen she personally collected or whose traditional use as food she documented. The algae are in pinks, khaki green and rust.

Indigenous people make up 5% of the population but 75% of the people living on the street in Winnipeg. Poverty is the byproduct of colonial systems of oppression and genocide but is treated like a personal failure when many are born into it

NSF funding allocations to divisions get adjusted based on numbers of proposals; if we opt out of submitting proposals because of threats of cuts, it can cause future years budgets to divert money out of our divisions.

Maxine Berg shows how the “nimble fingers” stereotype first arose in the early Industrial Revolution as a way for managers to de-skill the labor of women workers. It was also used to exoticize labor of Navajo semiconductor manufacturers at Shiprock in the 60s. The term has a long sordid history.
