hopping back on here to announce I am launching a Substack! it's about our relationship with nature and why this matters, through themes of self-discovery, grief, loss and connection π± I would be so grateful if you would consider subscribing π: https://t.co/SZ3bcS89kd

some of the writing will be more personal than my academic research, but I believe this is the best way to illustrate the importance of this relationship evidently, I prefer using more words than Twitter/X allows, so pls join me where I can do this ππ

the themes are very much a continuation of my research, so if you've followed my work, please do consider joining me for the next phase I feel this conversation is one we need to have widely, and academia is not the right location for this
