Two PhD students in the VCA Lab, Emily Ireland and Lisa Lui, joined the 3 Minute Thesis (3MT) competition this year. Both were amazing, with clear and engaging presentations that showcased their ability to communicate theory-driven research in a way that is accessible to everyone! Emily and Lisa came first and second in the School of Applied Psychology competition, and both progressed to the Health Group competition. Emily won the Health Group competition and proceeded to the University-wide competition where she gave a compelling and engaging presentation on August 20th 2024. We're all so proud of Emily's and Lisa's talent and hard work preparing for the 3MT! Next year we hope to see even more VCA lab members involved in the 3MT!
We acknowledge the Yugambeh/Kombumerri people, who are the traditional custodians of the lands on which Griffith University stands. We acknowledge their continuing spiritual connection to the land, sea, and waters. We pay our respects to them and to their Elders past, present, and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The research in the VCA Lab is supported by the Australian government through a Discovery Grant to Lisa Jefferies.
