Super proud of the achievements of this wonderful human! What a superstar 💥
Excited to share that I’ve started a new position as a Postdoctoral Research Associate @Sydney_CHS - the same week I got my PhD conferral date from @SPRC_UNSW. Welcoming me 6months postpartum w flexible working arrangements - I feel lucky and grateful 🥰
Had such a great time in Albury for the opening of the Summer Place Pavilion "Re/place". As a circular economy researcher on the project it's been amazing to see the pavilion come to life. #alburysummerplace

These new billboards are a complete nuisance. Watching mobility impaired seniors try to navigate around this without being taken out by cars and buses wizzing by is heart breaking. Cannot believe these were allowed to be installed.

Urgent reminder that peat is 50% carbon. When you remove peat from its protective boggy ecosystem and spread it in your garden, that carbon ends up in the atmosphere. Peat in bogs not bags. Spread the word. Go #peatfree.

We have to talk about plastic. It dominated the last century and will dominate this one as a leading cause of climate change—not because anyone wants more of the stuff, but because the logic of manufacturing demands that it be made, writes @rebecca_altman. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

can anyone recommend interesting reading on anticlimax? on living through an anticlimax, on expectations, disappointment, and despondency?

Hey @ScottMorrisonMP, I’ve read and reread the transcript of your presser yesterday responding to the #IPCCReport, and there’s a bunch of stuff you’re wrong about. Time to bust the Morrison Myths about climate change. Here’s a thread.
Enjoying some juicy weekend reading! Thank you for your words @astridlorange and Andrew Brooks.
Thoroughly enjoyed co-chairing a panel on embodied methodologies today as part of the #IAGNZGS2021. Amazing presentations and discussions! Thanks to @BlancheVerlie @francisco_hcxse Nicole Gombay, Victoria Radnell, Gen Blades, Anna Dunn, Omar Elkharouf and Hannah Della Bosca!
Also this!
great story on Exxon's strategy to delay action on PFAS/plastics:

Well worth of read for those interested in materiality and waste!
