I am a neurobiologist turned data engineer, who wants to bring my analytical/tech skills and biological background to drive the world towards a sustainable and socially progressive future. After reading Doughnut Economics, my tabula rasa was scrawled with ideas of what a sustainable economy could be. And I want to be part of creating it.

As initiator and head of the , I deal with the transfer of the doughnut to the #sport #sector. The doughnut has been playing an increasingly important role in our collegial exchange for some time now. Now we want to systematically address the adaptation of the doughnut to the sport sector and use this as the basis for a #holistic and both horizontally and vertically scalable #model of in sport.

My name is Sara and I’m a climate social scientist, political activist, and science communicator focused on social-ecological resilience and the future of our planet and this is what brings me to the DEAL community. I’m very interested in understanding how frameworks are built to protect and safeguard people and the planet in a time like today. Earlier, I’ve been associated with some remarkable organisations such as LSE Cities, Sanctuary Asia magazine, the Sanctuary Nature Foundation, the World Resources Institute, Earth Day Network, among others. In my past as a divemaster, I have worked to support several coral restoration projects across Asia-Pacific, until I realised those are band-aid fixes, unless overall emissions come down and policy around fossil fuel and corporate expansion shifts, there isn’t much hope for our reefs. And so I came back to land. I’ve worked with the concepts of the Anthropocene, rewilding, community owned conservancies, citizen science and the climate system. I am interested in human behaviour, international governance, and social justice. I worry about environmental policy being geared towards constant resource exploitation through advances in technology, viewing natural resources from a purely economic activity linked to a GDP/trade statistics perspective. I also think about how human behaviour is shaped and influenced by its surroundings in the climate crisis. I enjoy designing public awareness campaigns, speaking to people and communities, writing, illustrating and looking for creative ways that help the public learn about, fall in love with and protect our green-blue dot. I write for and illustrate for Sanctuary Asia magazine and am always looking for knowledge translation writing projects and opportunities that can demystify earth science for the people. I love reading/run/swim/cycling in no particular order punctuated by being a couch potato. I have a special affinity towards socialist literature + memes and fluffy creatures of the biosphere.
