By way of a celebration of the juggle many carers & parents go through to make travel for research happen, why not share your โSTEMM life with dependantsโ photos ๐ ๐งช
Letโs amplify, discuss, normalise the balancing act, & celebrate the superpowers often required โ๏ธ
We โค๏ธ seeing them!

Use of 'humanure' has lots of benefits and any potential risks from residual chemicals will be minimised as the reuse loop is small & composting will take place
