Linden Ashcroft (pictured) went from wanting to be a poet to climate science, although she still dabbles in poetry.

Linden grew up in country Victoria, in Tatura near Shepparton, on the lands of the Yorta Yorta people, and is a lecturer, climate scientist and science communicator at the University of Melbourne.

Her parents still live in Tatura, and she will be back there on Saturday, September 6, for an event organised by the Transition Towns group in Tatura.

The Tatura Transition Towns program will include, in addition to Linden, a performance from the Melbourne band, "Music for a Warming World".

Short films and other identities are being organised now for the September 6 event.
