Zowona Zenizeni ndi Zaiwisi: Nkhani ya Moriah Byrd
Moriah Byrd ndi wachinyamata wosamalira zachilengedwe yemwe akufuna kuti apeze malo omwe alibe oyimira mosiyanasiyana. Gulu lathu lidayitanitsa Moriah kuti akhale ngati wolemba mabulogu mlendo kuti afotokoze zomwe adakumana nazo komanso chidziwitso chokhudzana ndi ntchito yake yosamalira zachilengedwe m'madzi. Blog yake ikuwonetsa kufunikira kosinthira magawo athu, chifukwa adalimbikitsidwa ndi omwe amafanana naye.
Kumanga akatswiri m'madera onse okhudzana ndi kuteteza nyanja ndikofunika kwambiri kuti titetezeke ndi kuteteza nyanja yathu. Achinyamata athu, makamaka, ayenera kukhala ndi zida ndi zinthu zofunika kuti tipitilize kulimbikira pamene tikumenyera dziko lathu lapansi. Werengani nkhani ya Moriah pansipa, ndikusangalala ndi gawo laposachedwa kwambiri la Real and Raw Reflections.
Kwa ambiri, mliri wa COVID-19 udayambitsa chimodzi mwazinthu zotsika kwambiri m'miyoyo yathu zomwe zimatikakamiza kutaya kwambiri. Tinkaona anthu omwe tinali nawo pafupi kwambiri akulimbana ndi moyo wathu. Ntchito zinasowa usiku wonse. Mabanja analekanitsidwa ndi ziletso zoyenda. M'malo motembenukira kumagulu athu omwe amatithandizira nthawi zonse, tinali otalikirana kutikakamiza kuti tizimva chisoni chathu tokha.
Zokumana nazo zomwe tonse tidakumana nazo pa mliriwu zinali zovuta koma anthu ambiri amitundu (POC) adakakamizika kukumana ndi zokhumudwitsa nthawi imodzi. Ziwawa, tsankho, komanso mantha omwe dziko lapansi lidawona panthawiyi zinali zochepa chabe za zomwe POC imakumana nazo tsiku lililonse. Pomwe tidapulumuka kuzovuta zomwe zidali za COVID-19, tidapitilizabe kumenyera nkhondo kwanthawi yayitali kuti dziko lilemekeze ufulu wachibadwidwe. Nkhondo yomwe imaphwanya mphamvu zathu zamaganizidwe kuti tikhalepo ndikuchita ngati anthu ogwira ntchito. Komabe, mofanana ndi anthu amene anabwera patsogolo pathu, timapeza njira zopitira patsogolo. Kupyolera mu zoipazo, tinapeza njira yoti tisamangokhalira kuwongolera zakale komanso kuthandizana wina ndi mnzake panthawi yovutayi.
M’nthaŵi zoyesayesa zimenezi, gulu losamalira za m’madzi linavomereza kufunika kochirikiza Akuda, Amwenye, ndi anthu ena amitundu yosiyanasiyana komanso magulu ena okhudzidwa kwambiri ndi chikhalidwe cha Azungu. Kudzera m'ma TV ndi njira zina zoyankhulirana zotalikirana ndi anthu, anthu oponderezedwa adasonkhana kuti apange njira zatsopano zophunzitsira, kuchita nawo, ndikuthandizira anthu oponderezedwa osati mu sayansi ya m'madzi komanso miyoyo yathu.
Nditawerenga zomwe Moriah Byrd adanena pamwambapa, zikuwonekeratu kuti malo ochezera a pa Intaneti adziwitsa anthu za mavuto omwe anthu amitundu amakumana nawo. Komabe, atafunsidwa ngati akumva zowawa zamagulu - kapena zoulutsira mawu ambiri - akuwonetsa anthu amitundu ndi achinyamata momveka bwino adayankha mosangalatsa kwambiri. Moriah akunena kuti ndizofunikira kwambiri kuti anthu omwe alibe tsankho adziwe malo ochezera omwe amayendetsedwa ndi atsogoleri osasankhidwa kuti nkhani zanu zitheke potulutsa zoulutsira mawu. Nthawi zambiri sizimatiwonetsa bwino, komanso zimapangitsa kuti anthu aziganiza mozama za madera athu. Tikukhulupirira kuti malingaliro a Moriah atengedwa mozama, makamaka munthawi ya mliri, popeza nawonso wapereka zovuta zingapo zomwe Moriah akuwonetsa pansipa.
Mliriwu utayamba, ine, monga anthu ambiri, ndidavutika kuti ndisinthe kupita pa intaneti ndipo ndimalirira maphunziro anga omwe adatayika. Koma ndinathaŵiranso ku zithunzi zachiwawa ndi mawu achidani omwe anaikidwa pa malo ochezera a pa Intaneti amene poyamba ndinkawona ngati kuthaŵa. Kuti ndisiyane ndi zithunzizi ndidayamba kutsatira masamba oteteza panyanja pa Twitter. Mwamwayi, ndinakumana ndi gulu lodabwitsa la asayansi akuda apanyanja omwe anali kunena za chikhalidwe cha anthu chamakono ndi momwe chinawakhudzira. Ngakhale kuti panthawiyo sindinatenge nawo mbali, ndikuwerenga ma tweets a anthu omwe ankawoneka ngati ine ndipo anali m'munda womwewo ndi ine, ndinazindikira kuti sindimadutsa ndekha. Zinandipatsa mphamvu kuti ndipite patsogolo ku zochitika zatsopano.
Black in Marine Science (BIMS) ndi bungwe lomwe limapereka chithandizo kwa asayansi akunyanja akuda. Amayamba ndikuphunzitsa achinyamata omwe akukula kuti amvetsetse njira zosawerengeka za sayansi yapanyanja. Zimapereka chithandizo kwa ophunzira omwe akuyenda pamavuto omwe ali kumayambiriro kwa ulendo wawo wapadera. Ndipo potsiriza, imapereka chithandizo chosalekeza kwa iwo omwe akhazikika kale pantchito yawo omwe amafunikira bungwe lomwe limamvetsetsa kulimbana kokhala wakuda mu gawo la sayansi yam'madzi.
Kwa ine, gawo lothandizira kwambiri la bungwe ili ndi chiwonetsero. Kwa zaka zambiri za moyo wanga, ndakhala ndikuuzidwa kuti ndine wapadera chifukwa chofuna kukhala wasayansi wakuda wapanyanja. Nthawi zambiri ndimayang'ana modabwitsa ngati kuti palibe njira yomwe wina ngati ine angakwaniritsire pampikisano woterewu komanso wovuta. Cholinga changa chophatikiza kafukufuku wamaluso, chilungamo cha chikhalidwe cha anthu, ndi mfundo zimachotsedwa chifukwa chokhala wofuna kwambiri. Komabe, nditayamba kugwirizana ndi BIMS, ndinaona luso la asayansi oyenda panyanja akuda.
Black in Marine Science adalandira Dr. Letise LaFeir, Mlangizi Wamkulu ku NOAA yemwe amagwira ntchito pamphepete mwa nyanja ya biology ndi ndondomeko, kuti akambirane za Ocean Championship. Monga momwe Dr. LaFeir adafotokozera za ulendo wake, ndinapitiriza kumva zanga zakale, zamakono, ndi zam'tsogolo m'nkhani yake. Adapeza nyanja powonera ziwonetsero zamaphunziro pa Discovery Channel ndi PBS momwemonso ndidadyetsera zokonda zanga kudzera pamapulogalamu apamayendedwe awa. Mofananamo, Ine nawo internships mu ntchito yanga maphunziro a digiri yoyamba kukulitsa zofuna zanga mu nyanja sayansi monga Dr. LaFeir ndi okamba ena. Pomaliza, ndidawona tsogolo langa ngati mnzanga wa Knauss. Ndidapatsidwa mphamvu kuwona azimayiwa omwe adakumana ndi mayesero ndi masautso ambiri monga ine, ndikukwaniritsa maloto anga. Zimene zinachitikazi zinandipatsa mphamvu podziwa kuti ndinali pa njira yoyenera ndiponso kuti panali anthu amene angathandize panjira.
Chiyambireni kupeza BIMS, ndalimbikitsidwa kukwaniritsa zolinga zanga. Pamene ndikuyamba ulendo wanga wolangiza, cholinga chimodzi chachikulu ndikubwezera zomwe ndinapatsidwa pokhala mlangizi wa anthu ena ochepa mu sayansi ya zamadzi. Momwemonso, ndikufuna kukonza machitidwe othandizira pakati pa anzanga. Komanso, ndikukhulupirira kuti gulu losamalira zapanyanja nalonso lilimbikitsidwa. Pokhazikitsa mayanjano ndi mabungwe monga BIMS, gulu lachitetezo cha panyanja litha kuphunzira momwe angathandizire anthu omwe sayimiriridwa bwino. Kupyolera mu mgwirizanowu, ndikuyembekeza kuwona njira zambiri zopezera mwayi pachitetezo cha panyanja chothandizira anthu omwe sayimiriridwa. Njirazi ndi njira zothandizira zofunika kwambiri kwa anthu ocheperako omwe chifukwa cha zochitika sizikanapatsidwa mwayi umenewu. Kufunika kwa njira izi kumawonekera mwa ophunzira ngati ine. Kupyolera mu pulogalamu ya mayendedwe apanyanja yoperekedwa ndi The Ocean Foundation, malo onse osungiramo nyanja atsegulidwa kwa ine, kundilola kupeza luso latsopano ndikupanga maulumikizano atsopano.
Tonse ndife Osewera a Ocean, ndipo tili ndi udindowu, tiyenera kudzisintha tokha kuti tikhale ogwirizana bwino polimbana ndi kusayeruzika. Ndikulimbikitsani tonse kuti tiyang'ane mwa ife tokha kuti tiwone komwe tingapereke chithandizo kwa iwo omwe ali ndi zovuta zina.
Monga tanenera, nkhani ya Moriah ikuwonetsa kufunikira kwamitundu yosiyanasiyana m'gawo lathu. Kulumikizana ndi kumanga ubale ndi omwe amaoneka ngati iye kunali kofunika kwambiri pakukula kwake, ndipo kwatipatsa malo athu ndi malingaliro anzeru omwe mwina tikadataya. Chifukwa cha maubwenzi amenewo, Moriah adapatsidwa mwayi:
- Kupeza mwayi wopeza zofunikira pakukula kwake ndi chitukuko;
- Landirani chitsogozo ndi upangiri chifukwa cha kulumikizana komwe kunapangidwa;
- Kumvetsetsa ndi kuzindikira zovuta zomwe angakumane nazo ngati munthu wamtundu wamtundu wam'madzi;
- Dziwani njira yopita patsogolo, yomwe imaphatikizapo mwayi womwe sanadziwepo.
Black mu Marine Science mwachiwonekere adachitapo kanthu pa moyo wa Moriah, koma pali ena ambiri a Moriah padziko lapansi. Ocean Foundation ikufuna kulimbikitsa ena kuthandizira BIMS, monga TOF ndi magulu ena achitira, chifukwa cha ntchito yovuta yomwe amagwira komanso anthu payekha-monga Moriya-ndi mibadwo yomwe amawalimbikitsa!
Dziko lathu lili pamapewa a unyamata wathu kuti tipitirize zomwe tinayambitsa. Monga Moriah ananenera, ndi udindo wathu kusintha ndi kukhala ogwirizana ndi kupanda chilungamo. TOF imatsutsa dera lathu komanso ifeyo kuti tipange akatswiri am'nyanja m'mitundu yonse, kumvetsetsa bwino ndikuthandizira madera omwe timatumikira.
