Tune in to episode 12 where I chat with Dr Eloise Skinner, Disease Ecologist and Post Doctoral Researcher at Stanford University (also a friend of mine) about:
- What Elle’s role as a disease ecologist involves and how it bears relevance to our warming climate;
- The importance of prevention when it comes to mosquito borne illness;
- How increased biodiversity can reduce the transmission of Ross River Fever;
- Some underlying principles of biodiversity;
- How climate change will lead to increased illness globally;
- How Elle maintains balance and joyfulness in her life;
- How we can seek guidance and inspiration from animals and ecosystems as we move towards a “new earth”;
- How there is a need to bridge the gap between the findings of the scientific community and the practical implementation of those findings in everyday practice;
- The importance of defining our boundaries for preventing burnout as climate activists;
- How Elle navigates spirituality in light of her scientific background;
- The separation of humans from morality in our modern world;
- Elle’s year in Madagascar and how her struggles led her to be the woman she is today;
- The kind of world Elle wants to see in 2050.
