Our first #CreativeClimateLeadership Australia programme began today, nestled in nature at @bundanon in New South Wales. We're running the programme in partnership with @creative_gov_au & @auBritish and we'll be sharing snippets throughout the week so keep an eye on our feed.

I challenged myself yesterday and jumped up on stage for my one-minute thesis. 😱🎙️ Hopefully, I was able to share a little bit about the impacts of #MarineDebris and how we can work together for better management. 🌊🤝♻️🐢 #phdchat

Awesome work yesterday from @GraceNyeButler as part of the @UNSWScience research showcase. Grace condensed her thesis into a punchy 60 second presentation on co-created, community-led management of marine debris.

Hey @UNSWGRS! Checking in on this announcement you made in December last year. It's been five months and I, along with everyone else in my lab, are still waiting for the promised increase. You said it would be here by the end of Term 1, but that's now wrapped up. Any update?

Hey @UNSWGRS! Another rate hike was announced today by the RBA, which makes it 4 since you posted this announcement. The stipend increase was meant to help with the cozzie livs, but it's not doing much for my peers and me at the moment! Any updates?

5⃣0⃣% of Aussie girls quit #sport by the age of 15. This is a problem as physical health is intrinsically linked to mental health. It was a privilege to welcome #TomorrowWoman to empower the UNSW Netball Club. ♀️Women in sport matter ♀️Women in the workplace matter

From trash to treasure! 👻This ghost net, collected on a @TangaroaBlue beach clean, was delivered to the NPA Arts Centre to create a new #art piece. 🛟These buoys were taken home to be painted and hung up as decorations. 🎨#marinedebris meets creative solutions!
