We are proud to be recognised as a leader in addressing inequality by becoming one of the first universities in Australia to receive a @SciGenderEquity Athena Swan Silver Award. Read more about how this achievement has improved opportunities and progression pathways for staff, like Dr Ayanka Wijayawardena 👉 bit.ly/3Xnv9kR
Dr Ayanka Wijayawardena, wearing a lab coat with a nametag, smiles in a laboratory setting with a quote reading: “Environmental research is in traditionally a male-dominated field and we’re now getting equal opportunities. We have women who are chairing discussions at international conferences such as Cleanup2024, taking leading roles to organise... and we’re in managerial positions.”

Science tells us that self-care practices like taking naps, meditating, and walking in nature work to rejuvenate the mind, resulting in longer attention span, better memory, and increased productivity. Remember this next time you feel guilty for enjoying some downtime. 🧡
