Tuesday Evening at the Research Bazaar

By Louise van der Werff

After a busy day attending ResPitches, participants were treated to an evening of talks, food and fun.

Lightening talks, Guru Talks, and Tech Talks were held under the bedouine tent before dinner. This gave researchers the opportunity to share their research experiences with each other, swap stories and generally wind down after a busy day in Wilson Hall.

The every popular NerdNite was then held after dinner.

The 3 speakers for NerdNite were Cordelia Fine, Isabel Zbukvic and Dr Jason Chuen.

Cordelia Fine, Professor of History & Philosophy of Science at the School of Hostorical and Philosophical Studies, spoke about gender assumptions, misconceptions and her new book Testosterone Rex.

Isabel Zbukvic discussed her PhD in behavioural neuroscience and her PhD journey. Her research addresses what makes adolescents vulnerable to mental illness, focussing on drug addiction and anxiety disorders.

Dr Jason Chuen, Clinical Senior Fellow in MDHS and based at the Austin Hospital Department of Surgery, is a Specialist Vascular Surgeon and Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. He spoke about technological progress in medicine and how it transforms the delivery of modern healthcare.

NerdNite at ResBaz was also the last for our wonderful team member and NerNite organiser Dejan Jotanovic @HeyDejan. Sad but Sweet!
