Group therapy helps people find the strength and resilience to continue their important work, without harming their health.

Something new is happening
Stay tuned for more.
A collaboration with @nealhaddaway
A potential new project:
(1/2)To the #climate folks - you might know my work from @ITHYF_Letters - we share scientists feelings about climate change. Well, we have something new in the works. A children's book focussed on sustainability. We are seeking small scale funding, can anyone recommend funders?

Any of our Australian based followers want to see an amazing, emotive performance and exhibition? Why not head along to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne from next week: rbg.vic.gov.au/melbourne-gar…
It's been six long years since ITHYF had anything on during National Science Week - but @mcmichaelanna and @DevenishLouise have something in store for the Botanic Gardens in Victoria. Get along: scienceweek.net.au/event/cli…
1/3 So, a few years ago I had the idea of turning ITHYF into a coffee table book.

Our latest letter, from the brilliant @GrettaPecl
"Although the conspiracy theories around climate change drive me insane, I can see how it would be comforting to believe them, in contrast to the reality of climate change."

A beautiful, powerful letter from @anna__madeleine
Professor Michael Raupach contributed to ITHYF in 2014 and sadly, passed away in early 2015. Here, his daughter Anna contributes a letter.
"I can’t count the times I wonder what he would have felt now, and I am immensely sad I cannot ask him."
