@MerlinCrossley And highlights the importance of nutrition

Delighted to see this in Adelaide this week. Hetzel discovered that ‘cretinism’ (a form of stunting & mental retardation) was caused by the lack of iodine and could be avoided completely via supplements. Knowledge is power and few Australians have ever had such a profound impact.

Grateful for the knowledge and relationships being built together on this beautiful Country #GomeroiCountry #NativeGrains #IndigenousCommunityLed @pbinarrabri @Sydney_Science

Come and join in the native grains

I get lots of people asking me how a chemistry curriculum can be 'decolonised', so I thought I'd make a short thread with examples. Firstly, decolonisation is not about removing science from the curriculum, it is about giving students more context (see: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…)

Please for the love of life (+my sanity) can people STOP assuming they know who people are, and what their roles & expertise are meetings and organisations based on external appearance? If you don't know ask, or even google. 1/2
