Thomas was invited on to chat about some of the latest findings from the Hort Frontiers Green Cities funded ‘Greener Cities, Healthier Lives’ project he is leading at UOW, including three new published papers (links below) on sleep, pregnancy outcomes and child and adolescent prosocial behaviour – the latter two being led by PhD students supported by this project (well done Selin Akaraci and Edi Putra!).
