Racism, mangrove forests, and 450 million year old crabs with Nia Burnette
Thursday, 20 August, 2020
On this episode of the Nudibrains podcast I talk to my friend Nia who is an awesome scientist passionate about large vertebrates AND horseshoe crabs. As a Black scientist and survivor of Hurricane Katrina, Nia has experienced racism in education first hand and has some amazing advise for aspiring scientists. We talk about climate change and how environmental disasters disproportionately affect BIPOC communities first. Nia is inspiring and is going to do great things with her career! Follow her on instagram @stardustandoceandrops A few links and definitions Https://www.naacp.org/climate-justice-resources/resource-organizations Roger Arlinger Young and the RAY Marine Conservation Diversity Fellowship NOAA: National Atmospheric and Oceanic Association As clarification on affirmative action: Nia used language suggesting that BIPOC need to “catch up,” not in terms of being deficient, but in terms of being exposed to what is possible for BIPOC, given a long history of being shut out (I.e. of marine science)
