One Day, Two Talks


There's nothing I like better than a license to shoot my mouth off. Friday gave me two opportunities. First, I served as an "inspirational speaker" in the WOW! Program sponsored by the Education Foundation. I shared the short and winding road that took me from birth to my current position as a climate change researcher. Despite the many bits of wisdom I passed along, during Q&A, the boys in the yard were a bit more interested in my choice of film (they were quite disappointed that I hand't seen Saw or Saw II, III or IV), but hey, at least I got them thinking.

From there, I moved on to Melbourne Uni to participate in a panel discussion on climate change as part of Engineer's without Borders annual conference.
