Sustainability science researcher, happy to start reconnecting with academic peers!

Hi all!

For those who don't know each other, reply to this tweet with your research area, or interest, or anything else about you. Will retweet some of them. Let's connect!

I feel pretty much 'out of shape' about posting on social networks since I left the blue bird a year ago 😄 Looking forward to start reconnecting again
