Getting to write about solutions to world problems based on hope & joy rather than fear & anger, a privilege & refreshing considering current discourse.

But by far the biggest achievement of my new book was to write about my dad’s dementia journey & reflect on the love I have for this person. 2/3

Proud moment alert 📢

Getting to finally share a copy of my book with my two heroes, my mum and dad, was special.

Getting to develop this important contribution to the literature with a trailblazer in the field of ecology Professor Monika Egerer a deeply humbling experience.

Please read this positive development. I am still angry people have such opinions and it got aired in local council but happy common sense wins.

Gardeners on this platform I need your help. This has started randomly growing in my backyard in Melbourne... What is it and should I keep it or get rid of it if invasive?
December 10, 2024 at 1:23 AM
This is my first post here. I'm all about research focused on urban agriculture, environmental public health, prevention & how Indigenous people's connection to land improves health & wellbeing. I'm looking to find a social media community where I can reciprocally share ideas, research & emotions...
