So I used to be emmaesherry at the bad place, but happy to find some familiar faces here - my world spins around Melbourne (Naarm), higher education, AFL, cricket, women’s sport, and researching how sport can be used as a tool for social change 🏏🤓🌏

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

Even though I’m not necessarily looking forward to going back to work tomorrow I think its definitely time - I’ve started cleaning up and throwing out from random cupboards around the house. I’m not super good at resting for too long!

THREAD: Research we should be thankful for.
The chances that we and everyone we know and love would be here today, alive, healthy and thriving without the advances of science and technology are basically zero.
