Lots of big hopes! I will hopefully be able to improve the methods in Antarctica to reduce the impacts of climate change and invasive species (ones that move from one environment to another and have an impact on the native animals). I will do this by publishing work to the scientific community and telling people about my research at conferences. I will also work with people involved in the governance of Antarctica. I would also like to get involved with policy work in the future and I’d like to sit on a government advisory board. Through this, I would share my knowledge with politicians and MPs and advise them on changes that need to be made to the environment to minimise climate change. Finally, I love teaching and public outreach, so I’d like to work at a museum to get involved with creative educating and hopefully inspire the next generation of scientists 🙂 I dream big, and I hope you do too!

I have a hope that more young people will be involved in making decisions about climate change policies – as they are the generation that will suffer most if current problems are not solved.

My hope for the future is that everyone will work towards being kinder to each other; helping each others and the planet.

My biggest hope is that the world can work together to solve the problem of climate change because individual countries cannot do it by themselves. We share the planet, the air around it and the resources within it and we need to be responsible for it as a whole world. As a scientist, this gives us a big responsibility to develop the solutions to the problems we are facing and make strong arguments to people in governments to do what is needed – and for the general public to do so too. There has been a lot of good progress made recently but there’s a lot more work to do and exciting opportunities to be a big part of it!

The biggest is probably that people around the world recognise the challenges that we face and work together to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change.
Science plays a key role so I also hope that I can inspire interest in STEM subjects because we need more scientists so that we can keep researching and providing options and solutions. There are a huge number of opportunities that STEM subjects can provide to become involved and make a difference.

I hope that we learn from Covid. We learnt that as a planet we could work together and invest money to solve a problem. We did it because we had an immediate problem.
Now we need to think about other big problems such as climate change which are longer term problems. We have many solutions, we just need to prioritise and invest in implementing them.
