Then ended the trip returning to my ACNS roots! So great to see old friends and make new friendships for life! Also, getting to see my other supervisor on the big stage was a proud supervisee moment for sure!

Then I got on a train to Geelong + finally made it to the Food & Mood centre to give a small presentation on my work! This group has inspired me since day dot. Not sure I would’ve done a PhD if the food and mood centre didn’t exist! It was very cool to learn about all the upcoming projects there!

When you’re hosting dinner and manage to squeeze in 17 plants in one go 🌱
This year I’m aiming for 30/30/30 challenge - 30 g of protein per meal, 30 g of fibre per day, and 30 min of exercise daily 🏋🏼♀️
I think I hit my target here 😀
