Hi There!

​

For those of us in Australia, autumn has arrived, bringing cooler days and crisp, beautiful mornings (a welcome change for some!). As we settle into the second quarter of the year, it’s a good time to pause and reflect. Not just on goals and outcomes, but on how fulfilled we feel in our work, the people we connect with daily, and the challenges we’re navigating.  Life comes with its fair share of hurdles, and it’s worth considering how the choices we make today are shaping a future that feels more joyful and sustainable.

​

The start of 2025 has been exciting at Huitaca. We launched our call for abstracts for the Global Women’s Science, Nature and Society journal. Submissions are coming in steadily and they are thoughtful, promising work that we’re sure will spark important conversations.

​

In the spirit of growing our community, we’ve kicked off new campaigns on Bluesky and LinkedIn, where we’re now promoting our journal and updates. As we move away from Instagram, Facebook, and X, we’d love for you to join us on these new platforms and help spread the word.

​

This issue also features some great opportunities to explore, global news about women, and a new section with recommendations from our team members, from books and podcasts to things that simply brought us joy. And with elections coming up in Australia, we’re also keeping an eye on policies that could impact women in science. You’ll find a trusted link in this issue to help you stay informed.

 

Thank you for being here!
