New documentary series follows five up-and-coming research stars
What are the biggest misconceptions about being an academic? What are the challenges academics face every day? What is it really like to break new ground, to discover something no one else has before?
In a new documentary series, we’ll follow five of our Sydney Research Accelerator (SOAR) Fellows for the next two years to find out what makes them get out of bed in the morning, how they balance the pressures of academic life with family and the reality of successes and failures in research.
- Political scientist, Associate Professor Anika Gauja
- Global health security expert, Associate Professor Adam Kamradt Scott
- Obesity and weight loss expert, Associate Professor Amanda Salis
- Astrophysicist, Associate Professor Tara Murphy
- Materials scientist, Associate Professor Chris Ling.
