Well, I’m out of office & on my way to Argentina today to take part in the Homeward Bound leadership voyage via Antarctica! 🇦🇶
I’ve been selected as one of just over 100 women & NB people in STEMM to take part, all of us leaders for climate action ☀️
I’m still new here, can you help me find my ppl?

It's starting to feel so real, especially as time feels like it's speeding up rn 🎄
We’ll spend 15 days crossing the Drake Passage, visiting sites on the Antarctic Peninsula and diving deep into our Leadership, Science and Communication training 🇦🇶
Less than 50 days to go! 🥶

This week I hosted a screening of Antarctica The Giant Awakens, with a ice-side chat with Director Liz Courtney ❄️
We covered the need for youth leadership, diversity in STEM and how we all have the tools to turn our jobs into climate careers ☀️
Huge thanks to everyone who came along!

With forecasts of ~40°C in Wollongong tomorrow, a small friends 2nd bday & my gym xmas party have been cancelled
Even though it’s a shame we won’t be able to celebrate together, I think this shows a level of maturity & preparedness to put safety first in a climate of extremes ☀️
