In addition to meeting representatives from BC and Ontario and sitting in on the Senate #QuestionPeriod I finally crossed paths with @elizabethemay.bsky.social!

Big thanks to @sciencepolicy.ca and to all who contributed time and energy to this event!

Last week I spent 2 days with 40+ other #academics from across Canada to learn how to communicate research simply and concisely to politicians and share the importance of #science in #policy as part of #ScienceMeetsParliament. I met so many talented and kind individuals!

As part of #congressh2025, some SEE Lab colleagues and I chatted with Dr. Kira Cooper from ESAC about our work on #climate #emotions and supporting #socialscience scholars. Happy to be able to share the conversation now!

Only a day and a half in to #AAG2025 and the dominant themes of care, queerness, and climate are so fulfilling and invigorating. I think Geographers are my people.

Join me and The Collective for Radical Death Studies on Sundays in January for my curated Rad Death Reads!
We'll discuss various angles of denied futures and, hopefully, end with some positivity for the new year.

Wow - HI to all the new followers!

Was it the #research themes or the #cat? 🤔

Hello!
I study how emotions (from fear to awe) influence climate behaviour, to hopefully get ppl to make better choices + policy. I also like thinking about environmental work as care work, and all the related 'things' (like gender inequity) that entails.

Most importantly, I have a hairless kitten
