Doing a PhD is a huge investment in yourself. You'll know if it's for you. The pursuit of knowledge and the ability to contribute to a field make you powerful. Don't let anyone put that spark out.

Childhood obesity has quadrupled since 1990, with rates soaring in regions like Polynesia, Micronesia, and the Caribbean. 📈 This #WorldChildrensDay, we call for bold action to reduce unhealthy food marketing and improve access to healthy options. 📺🍎

Upgraded my half marathon PB to 1:25 in the #podgorica🇲🇪 Half Marathon on Sunday. Cruising at 15km/hr in the Balkans was fun. Time to take a break & focus on the #PhD until Spring races.

We had inspiring speakers & insightful discussions on what food systems transformation really means, alternative ways of knowing (problematisation) & how that shapes the solutions we propose.
