You know you’ve been sending too many emails when you start to sign off calls and in person meeting with ‘all the best’ 🤦🏼‍♀️🫠


I absolutely love Athens cabbies - a 20’ ride during which we unpacked EU election results, Greek and UK dom politics, impact of Brexit ofc, same-sex marriage legalisation in Greece recently and the ‘kefi’ of the green people even during times of crisis. #opa #lovegreece #cabchat

Just created a new Spotify playlist for podcast episodes to listen to again, inspired by this episode of the @the_euvc with @shelgesson So many great learnings and felt even more fitting given he was one of the original @Spotify investors! Recommend! open.spotify.com/episode/1GdvXZ…

Αναφορικά με το επιχείρημα του bullying στα σχολεία που θα δέχονται τα παιδιά των ΛΟΑΤΚΙ οικογενειών, αντιλαμβάνεστε φαντάζομαι πως το πρόβλημα δεν είναι οι ομοφυλόφιλοι γονείς αλλά οι ομοφοβικοί.


Wow, maybe I’ve been away from fashion media for a while, but I really thought we’d moved away from these headlines about womens’ bodies. Like what does being a rectangle or a spoon even mean. 🤷🏼‍♀️Also can you imagine a similar headline but for men. Pls do better @thetimes 🥄??

The 5th woman *ever* (compared to 219 men) to receive a Physics Nobel Prize. Shocking, sad (especially when considering all the women who weren’t recognised for their input) but also encouraging and hopefully inspiring for the next generation of #womeninSTEM 💪🏼 #thefutureisfemale

A round of applause! Students and colleagues at @lunduniversity came together to recognise newly named physics laureate Anne L’Huillier. Drop a 👏 in the comments to congratulate our new Nobel Prize laureate. Video credit: Nina Ransmyr, Lund University



Been spending some time recently thinking about #climateadaptation and #resilience, read some of these thoughts below and please reach out if you’re thinking about this space or know someone who is. Would love to compare notes.

🤔@margaritaskarku, principal at the climatech #fund @2150VC, discusses the need for #governments, corporations and financial institutions to adapt to the new #challenges brought by #climatechange, and how to turn these challenges into #opportunities. maddyness.com/uk/2023/10/03/…



2 chapters in and I can tell it’s going to be a good one 👌🏼 Rich food for thought. [Pun intended]. @GeorgeMonbiot

Another day, another shocking photo of extreme weather in Greece. More people being evacuated and missing. After a summer of wildfires this is just devastating. Climate change is v much upon us. The need to adapt and reallocate resources to deal with these crises is v real.

And somehow in the midst of august madness in the Greek islands, hordes of tourists and sunbeds and endless wildfires, ~100 loggerhead turtles hatched and made it to the sea. Nature 💙💚 #nature #greekislands #protectedspecies

The Paris ecosystem is thriving! So many quality events on sustainability and tech over the coming months. It’s becoming the place to be in European tech. What a difference a few years and intentional policies / public funding strategies can make. #frenchtech #climatetech #vc


Tell me it’s spring without telling me it’s spring 🌾🌼 #greekislands #greekeaster
