  • What Elle’s role as a disease ecologist involves and how it bears relevance to our warming climate; 
  • The importance of prevention when it comes to mosquito borne illness; 
  • How increased biodiversity can reduce the transmission of Ross River Fever; 
  • Some underlying principles of biodiversity; 
  • How climate change will lead to increased illness globally; 
  • How Elle maintains balance and joyfulness in her life; 
  • How we can seek guidance and inspiration from animals and ecosystems as we move towards a “new earth”; 
  • How there is a need to bridge the gap between the findings of the scientific community and the practical implementation of those findings in everyday practice; 
  • The importance of defining our boundaries for preventing burnout as climate activists; 
  • How Elle navigates spirituality in light of her scientific background; 
  • The separation of humans from morality in our modern world;
