I am a neuroscientist, and my work involves the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to study and modulate the human brain. Specifically, I have used brain stimulation to study the effects of drugs, fatigue, pain, exercise and more on brain function. The field of brain stimulation is ever expanding, and it is not too difficult to imagine a future whereby we can personalise brain stimulation to augment the function of our brain, or to better treat disorders/injuries to the nervous system. My future research aims to add to this growing field and discover some cool neuroscientific mechanisms along the way!

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
