Canolaโs Come Knocking (Goomalling 2022) by Millie Murfit.
The greatest challenge of human existence is upon us: the planet is suffering and the consequences for present and future generations are profound.
Tackling climate change, waste generation and the loss of biodiversity is the responsibility of every person. Itโs a responsibility to be โPlanet Positive.โ Being Planet Positive means more than achieving net zero emissions. Itโs also about making sure that human activity is restorative of ecosystems.
Curtin students feel this responsibility keenly. They also know that a mastery of complex skills is required to solve challenging environmental issues. Students want these skills and the opportunity to positively effect change in their future careers.
Enlivening the intellectual life of the University and its surrounding communities through exhibitions, events and public programs that explore global perspectives on contemporary art.

A: One of the most surprising aspects of diabetes that many people may not know is the intricate interplay between mental health and diabetes management. Working in the field has highlighted the profound impact that stress, anxiety, and depression can have on blood sugar levels and overall well-being for individuals with diabetes. Recognising and addressing the psychological aspects of diabetes is an integral part of comprehensive care.
