I had the best time at the Asia for Animals Conference 2025 this past week. I spoke about #civetcoffee and the work of #TheCivetProjectFoundation to work with large tourism providers to stop the promotion and sale of civet coffee tours. #kopiluwak #civets #conservation #animalwelfare

Just found #CatsofAcademia and now must, naturally, introduce Poe- my office manager. She is particularly concerned with staff wellbeing. She will stop my screen use by walking in front of my screen every hour and onto my keyboard if I haven't stood up and walked around in a while. 10/10 recommend.

It's official! I am over the moon to start my postdoc at @york.ac.uk as part of the Anthropocene Encounters project. My focus: multispecies heritage with civets as the species entry point (of course). Who else should I be connecting with here? #heritage #multispecies www.york.ac.uk/archaeology/...

Book next to pencil on the forest floor. The book is Theory of Water by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
Really enjoying my latest read- Theory of Water by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. Her writing is thoughtful and poignant and is helping me better consider the capital roots of my cultural upbringing and why I've always felt out of place within it. Highly recommend. #reading #AcademicSky #Decolonise

Staff all pose for the camera surrounding tables filled with board paper, pens and note pads.
An example board paper with notes on. The notes depict a speculative future where civet coffee continues to grow in demand. The group have written a narrative of species extinction, ecosystem collapse and the next pandemic.
The last event of the civet season was a lovely CPD delivery with the team at 'Population Matters'. I led a one day program all about Distant Nature Encounters in the Anthropocene. And, of course, civets were the species entry point. #multispecies #workshop #MTHjustice #academicsky
