Finally got my hands on this baby!(baby no2 still cooking). I decided to write this when I realised work from diverse disciplines was coalescing into a story abt the rise of new pathogen ecologies in homes & cities, yet the disciplines remained disconnected. Some highlights inc:

Hey @Wollongong_City I have emailed x 3 since January asking for info on where & when you spray pesticides/herbicides (& what you use) to ensure I can avoid those areas with my toddler who, like most young kids, is constantly on the ground & putting things in their mouth.

This is exactly the kind of thoughtful and engaged review every author hopes for. Thanks @Russ_tea_ . Great summary of how Life Indoors relates to #Geography #PublicHealth and other fields
I think anyone researching or working on #biosecurity, #health or #disease will find value in reading 'Life Indoors: How our Homes are Shaping our Bodies and our Planet' by @RachWakefield1. If curious, see my review at @GeogResearch

This was a fantastic project to be a part of. The options for a genuinely circular, locally focused algae bioplastics industry are exciting. Looking forward to stage 2! #circulareconomy #bioplastics
An algae-based bioplastics industry in regional NSW? A cross disciplinary, cross faculty scoping study led by the UTS Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building, in collaboration w Climate Change Cluster and the Institute for Sustainable Futures
