Last week, we told you about the once-revered scientific journal Nature ramping up their commitment to diversity by looking exclusively for a black intern.
🚨News Internship Alert 🚨
As part of our commitment to foster diversity and inclusion, we are looking for a Black candidate with a passion for science communication based in the UK for a full-time, paid news internship. Apply by 13 June!

It’s good to know that they’re just as committed to being more woke and anti-racist behind the scenes as they are when it comes to what they publish:
It is publication day, and our paper just went online! Check out “Decoloniality and anti-oppressive practises for a more ethical ecology” by @christrisos, @Jess_Auerbach, and myself:https://t.co/ZmNkiQbyl3 pic.twitter.com/gitDM2V3AD

Ecology is far too colonialist and oppressive. Science says so.
Highly recommended. https://t.co/K53wykHB2l

Thanks for this! So important and relevant

I'm totally using this in class next week! So excited!

One for the #DecolonizePrimatology list (once I read it)! https://t.co/Hcx0xk0gzP

Of course! Decolonializing primatology is also very important. Gorillas and marmosets deserve to be viewed through an anti-oppressive lens, too.
On this day, the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s killing, I would like to direct my science colleagues to this important new paper by @leafwarbler and co-authors on decolonizing ecology. https://t.co/FPheliJWM7

I just read the paper. So relevant and imp. Learnt some new stuff. Will share with many. Congratulations.
— Aparajita Datta (@AparajitaDatta4) May 25, 2021
Yes. Congratulations are definitely in order here.
Congratulations to the paper’s authors and to Nature for their valiant effort to redefine what constitutes science.
Every ecologist should read this paper & think about how colonialism has shaped their own views and research approaches. Then figure out how to apply suggested practices to build more inclusive ecology research and education.
Really enjoyed reading this one! Thank you! https://t.co/GxOxgdWfY4

Our work for a more #ethical #ecology also must recognize the K-12 pipeline that grows & nurtures future ecologists. Today public k-16 schools are being threatened if they teach #criticalracetheory. Being anti-fact threatens science and social justice @NSF @ESA_org @aaas @AGU_Eos https://t.co/4XZQN4isne

Social justice warrior scientists are truly serious people.
What a wicked wicked foolish paper
— David Sucher (@CityComforts) May 31, 2021
What nonsense. What is "decoloniality"? And here I thought you were a Nature publication. Silly me.
— Fred Smith (@FredSmith517) May 31, 2021
To be fair, they used to be about science. But wokeness is where it’s at now.
Great to see @Nature getting its content properly peer reviewed by the editorial board at @TeenVogue https://t.co/seu8OG5JYU pic.twitter.com/gpIFpo53aJ
