HDA School Communicators for Schools!
Are you a teacher – interested in offering exciting topics for your students?
We are offering free interactive school sessions for Years 8 to 12 with one or both of our HDA School Communicators. Our HDA School Communicators are funded by the Channel 7 Children’s Research Foundation (CRF).
Three sessions only for each HDA School Communicator is available so be quick and don’t miss out!
1. Dr Hayley Leake is a Research Fellow within the Body in Mind Research Group, IIMPACT in Health at the University of South Australia. Hayley’s session is on The Mysterious Science of Pain.
Hayley’s research focuses on chronic pain management, pain education and digital health, particularly in adolescence. Her work identifies and implements interventions to change individual’s misconceptions about pain, to improve active engagement in pain rehabilitation.
- Dr Eloise Doherty is a Lecturer in Audiology within the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Flinders University. Eloise’s session is on Hearing, Musical Engagement, and Auditory Processing.
Eloise’s research explores the links between music education and auditory processing for children with hearing impairment, applying novel research methodologies to explore both outcomes and experience. Eloise is an experienced educator, previously working as an instrumental music teacher in schools before transitioning into clinical and lecturing roles in audiology.
The goal of this program is to help our emerging researchers showcase their research to South Australian high school students with the aim of getting students excited about the amazing opportunities open to them in health science or science career pathways.
