Anti-colonial science

CLEAR is a feminist and anti-colonial laboratory. But what does that mean?

Teaching kits for DIY marine plastic research (grades 7-12)

CLEAR and Let’s Talk Science have created guides on how to build and use marine plastic research devices in classrooms from grade 7-12.

Citizen science collection of beached fish tags

We can tell how plastics move around the world by collecting wayward fishing tags.

Pollution is Colonialism

Colonialism in Canada is an ongoing structure whereby settler society and government assert sovereignty over lands already occupied by Indigenous peoples. This includes disrupting and exterminating Indigenous life, values, and self-determination, as well as disruption of established relationships between bodies, lands, waters, airs, plants, animals and other beings.

Ten Strategies to Reduce Gender Inequality at Scientific Conferences

The new article, “Ten Strategies to Reduce Gender Inequality at Scientific Conferences,” is based on a working group at the International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) 2016. It is co-authored by Director of CLEAR, Dr. Max Liboiron.

Have you built or used a DIY scientific instrument?

We want to hear from you! We have a survey to see how people are building, using, and improving the technologies and protocols we make public.

Tools, practices, & ethics for monitoring marine plastics from a feminist laboratory (video)

This 20-minute video offers an overview of the tools, practices, and ethics that underpin our feminist science.

Guidelines: designing equitable scientific tools

When we design scientific instruments, we think of about users that are scientists with degrees in well-funded institutions, but also rural Newfoundlanders, who also have research questions and a right to answer them. To this end, we have several guidelines for how we design and build our tools.
