ARH Researchers and Scholars Share with Rotary Club of Mornington
The Rotary Club of Mornington recently hosted ARH researcher Liam Ryan and Indigenous Health Scholar Molly King at their club meeting. Both Liam and Molly's scholarships are partially funded by the club.
They are pictured here with Ted Moore, Ken Bilham and Ross Kilborn. Ted and Ken were members of the club when Ian Scott first proposed that the club raise funds for research into SIDS which led to ARH.
The Research Behind Lift the Lid celebrates its 1st Birthday!
This first episode was with Dr Louise Mewton, talking about the findings from her Postdoctoral Fellowship research project: "Preventing adolescent mental illness through brain training."
In our last newsletter we introduced you to Lynne, a Rotarian who is walking the 1005km Bibbulmun Track to help raise funds for ARH. Well, Lynne is now on her way!
