To any #Science nerd, a by chance Dr Karl Kruszelnicki encounter, is a dream come true. But to then be invited on his #ShirtloadsofScience #Podcast to #demystify my area of expertise was just outright totally wild! 😄 I was absolutely honoured and stoked to sit down with one of our greatest, curious minds in Science, 'Dr Karl' - and talk through the #systems of the #CircularEconomy at University of Sydney - in the preparation, I stumbled across some old notes on my phone - judging by the date, must have been at Woodfordia Inc. - he has been such an inspiration to me! 😉 No more content spoliers, but I left some clues in the hash tags ... 🐔 It was definitely a special occasion, only my best #preloved Bin Chicken Shirt would do; pressed twice and all! (And yes it's an 'Ironic Shirt' - if we had a Circular Economy the White Ibis would still have its natural wetland home and there would be no food in the bins for them to eat!) 🔬 When I completed my #Biodiversity Degree at Macquarie University with ambitions of being a #Zookeeper - I never for a second thought something as obscure as 'preventing garbage' would become my first professional love and two decades later I'd be an #expert in it! 🎙️ But here we are. The Podcast comes out Feb 2025! 🎉 >>> 🎒 In the same month, I've taken my love of Science, Environment and Education back to #School - literally! 🏫 Various Australian curriculums now include 'waste management' and the like within; so one of my many professional offerings is teaching syllabus aligned, fun and factual lessons for High Schoolers 🫶 Thanks to Management at BC Consulting Pty Ltd for your ongoing support on all these adventures, and to Linda Mitchell - a former 'Shirtloader' - for her reflections and pep talk! 📣 Tell your teacher friends! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gq3t_rGj #CircularEconomy #Speaker #Reuse #LCA #Media #LifeCycleThinking #BeTheChange #Education #LivingLab #Materials #Recycling #Environment #MacquarieUniversityGraduate #EmbodiedCarbon #Economics #BehaviourChange #STEM #WomeninSTEM #GadigalLand #ESGReport #Consultant #SmallBusiness
Great work Belinda! And congratulations!
What a dream come true! We would have fangirl'ed SO hard 🤩 Can't wait to listen to the episode when it comes out!
Love this (especially the bin chicken digression) - and I hear Management at BC Consulting are pretty epic, too. Can't wait to hear the pod!
This is such a great match up of personalities (you seem like 2 peas in a pod). And now we got used to the sparkly green jacket, I guess the Bin Chicken shirt will also become iconic too? I can't wait to listen to this one.
Love your work Belinda Chellingworth (She/Her) and BC Consulting Pty Ltd! Long live the chickens.
Two smart cookies getting together to solve the worlds problems! Can’t wait to hear the outcome!!
