Tammy Eger is a Research Chair at the Centre for Research in Occupational Safety and Health and a Full Professor at the School of Human Kinetics, Laurentian University, Canada. She reflects on how Homeward Bound has impacted on her life. “After completing the Homeward Bound International Leadership Program I was asked to take on a 6-month role as the Interim Vice President for Research at Laurentian University. The lessons I learned related to leadership, strategy, visibility, communication, and science collaboration have served me well in this role. For me, the true value of Homeward Bound sits with the exceptional network of women in STEMM from around the world that you form a life-long bond with, and the faculty who will help you peel the layers back to discover the authentic YOU - your strengths, your weaknesses, your courage, your vulnerabilities, your fears, your passions, and the dreams you were previously afraid to say out loud!” #womeninstemm @laurentianu

Dr Marissa Parrot is a Reproductive Biologist for @zoosvictoria, Australia. Since undertaking the HB4 program she has completed close to 80 media interviews and presentations, appearing as far afield as the ABC, BBC, SBS, Australian Geographic, Global News and even Fox News. She shares her experience: “Homeward Bound was a life-changing and empowering experience. When I left the ship in Antarctica, it was with over 100 new sisters – a global network of support. This was so important during the following months as we battled some of the worst bushfires ever seen in Australia. I used the new skills I honed on the ship to focus on strategy, stay resilient, raise awareness through the media, and help raise emergency funds at Zoos Victoria for wildlife affected by the fires. I had my Homeward Bound network behind me who also helped raise awareness, funds, and sent much-needed support as I worked to conserve and protect our native animals. Thank you Homeward Bound and the amazing global network you bring. We are stronger together.”

Dr Carolyn Hogg is a Conservation Biologist and Re

Dr Carolyn Hogg is a Conservation Biologist and Research Manager at the Australasian Wildlife Genomics Group at the University of Sydney, Australia. For the past ten years she has been working with the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. This is how the Homeward Bound program has helped her achieve her goals:
“Homeward Bound has given me the skills and confidence to push myself beyond my sphere of influence and raise awareness in the broader community on the perilous situation of our wildlife. Through the visibility training and networking with STEMM women across the globe, I have built a project that will create a conservation legacy for Australia – giving global conservation managers the toolset to make science-based decisions in regards to wildlife and be proactive about promoting species resilience in the face of a changing world.” @sydney_science #womeninstemm
