Science superstars shine in Tall Poppy Awards
A commitment to advancing emergency medicine on the battlefield and exploring the links between sleep and health has seen two JCU scientists take out top honours at a major event.
JCU research fellows Dr Hayley Letson and Dr Yaqoot Fatima (below right) have both received a prestigious Young Tall Poppy Award, which recognises Australia’s outstanding early career researchers, as well as enthusiasm for communicating science “beyond the walls of the laboratory”.
Dr Letson said she was humbled to receive the award, which recognises her work in trauma resuscitation and emergency medicine.
