My #podcast Sipping Sustainabilitea has been on a hiatus for the past two years. During that time, my #PhD research took centre stage as I spent time reading, conceptualising how we can understand value from more than a financial perspective.
I was fortunate that my research project, funded by 1/4

Happy weekend everyone✨
Today I woke up to a friend tagging me with this post on our group chat
Needless to say, I decided to give my thoughts on this and used this opportunity for some #Sciencecommunication
Here's what I told my friends, see the screenshots in the thread below

That's a nice quote ... A reminder to not get stuck in a rut
So many people even in so called "developed" countries struggle to have basic needs like #affordablehousing afford groceries, are in #energypoverty but government focuses on things like #Industry4.0 and #AI Then they proceed to blame immigrants for all the troubles
In this Frankly, Nate revisits some key messages from this channel and delves into some of the more challenging takeaways. Facing these realities is neither easy nor pleasant, but as more people arrive at a species-level conversation, it is necessary.

This could have substantial impact on the #energytransition in the USA

China, led by engineers, has over decades invested in securing and expanding its supply of strategic minerals. I was in the room when its lead advisor expressed concern over its vulnerability to a UN meeting, 15 years ago. In the West, economists dismissed the idea ./

China bans export of gallium, germanium and antimony to the US - MINING.COM
China accounted for 48% of the world’s mined antimony last year, alongside 59.2% of global refined germanium production and 98.8% of refined gallium output in 2023.

Wrapping up this year's and I have a draft due in a week‼️
I was struggling quite a bit with #impostersyndrome and I opened up to my supervisor about it
What they said stuck with me to this day
"Droovi let me know when you STOP feeling like this, then we really need to have a talk"

Thanks a lot for all your hard work to organise this event and make it a success. Special thanks for hosting the session on Education Budget cuts and Science Scepticism
All the best for your research✨

Having a blast in #Utrecht with my colleagues from #leidenuni #CML #urban_programme, where I presented my #phd idea for the first time! Constructive, interdisciplinary & fresh ideas on #biodiversity and #ecology #research in cities.
More to come!🦋

Hello BlueSkyers👋🏽
Have I finally found THE platform to disseminate the Science I do? Only time will tell
Over here you can expect posts related to circular economy and buildings and urban Metabolism
I'd also like to showcase work by South Asian scholars and connect with y'all working in these topics
