PhD advice: An Interview with Sophie Arthur

Who is Sophie Arthur (@soph.talks.science)? Hey I’m Soph! I’m heading into my final year of my PhD at the University of Southampton where I study stem cell metabolism. Yes I know it sounds dull but it’s not. I’m basically working out how a stem cell's ‘sweet tooth’ helps to keep it a stem cell so we …

Transitioning to a Zero-Waste Lifestyle

After weeks of prepping I finally attempted my first zero-waste grocery shop this weekend and it went better than I’d have hoped!  It’s a daunting prospect and I can assure you that you’re not alone in thinking it’s just too big a change to comprehend.  But, when broken down into steps, it really isn’t so …

When you think of guinea pigs, do you think of a wild animal? Probably not..🐹 - Well, here it is – the Santa Catarina Guinea Pig!  There are less than 5️⃣0️⃣ of these little sausages left in the wild and every single one lives on one tiny Brazilian Island 🌴 measuring less than 1km2!! - BUT, recently, 50 people from all areas including military 🦸🏽‍♂️, biology 🧬, and gov 🎡carried out a 3 day workshop in Brazil to hatch together a Species Action Plan meaning targeted conservation action can now be taken – these workshops can cost 10s of thousands of 💵 so it was a really big deal.  They may be tiny, there may be few, but they’re darn cute, and they have a bloomin’ army in their corner 💪🏼. - For a while I’ve been consumed with climate change 🔥🌪, sustainability 🌏, etc.  These are still priorities for me (do I even have a choice anyway? 😉) but, since starting at Durrell/SMSG, I’ve remembered why I started down this road: the little girl’s 💭– to save wildlife from extinction. This is literally Durrell’s mission (well, change ‘wildlife’ to ‘species’) and I am loving learning about so many weird and wonderful species you’d never have dreamt existed 💙. - 📷: Luciano Candisani (SMSG website) (before any smart alecs msg me to say we can’t save species from extinction without dealing with climate change first…there’s no need 🙂). #durrellwildlifeconservationtrust #smsg #smallmammalspecialistgroup #iucn #iucnredlist #savingspeciesfromextinction #wildlifeconservation #conservationist #conservationistkrissy #environmentalist #womeninwildlife #wildlifebiology #saveourplanet #fightfortheplanet #womeninstem #womeninscience #guineapig #rodent #rodentia @durrell_jerseyzoo @redlist_of_ecosystems
Your clothing……does it SPARK JOY? 🌱💫 - Navigating the world of fashion and ALLLLLLLL the materials/processes/the ‘where does it come from???’ involved is like navigating a mine field. I get it, trust me! What is the answer to combating fast fashion? - A change in attitudes? 🤳🏽 Transparency? 🔬 Better standards for workers? ✊🏼 Sustainable materials - long term investments? 🌱 Thrifting? 👚 - @thisisherearth ’s FIRST EPISODE is out - @torystui, @deyaward, @sophiejoj, and I enjoyed an informal chin-wag (and a cuppa ☕️ or two) about all things fast fashion. - This series is about opening up the floor, presenting ideas, and allowing everyone to put forward their thoughts. We want you to get involved - please follow along, comment your thoughts over on the Insta page, and stay toooned for future convos! - #thisisherearth #podcast #chitchat #sciencecommunication #bosswomen #womeninSTEM #conservationists #fastfashion #sustainability #livingsustainably #climateactivism #fightfortheplanet #environmentalactivism #compassioniscool #refusereducereuserecycle #greenerchoices #climatehope #womenwhoscience #thrifting #gosecondhand #lowimpactliving #sustainablechoices #actofwildness #conservationistkrissy #protectwhatyoulove #girlsinSTEM #conservationblogger #ecoblogger #natureblog #scicomm
