Professor Lyn Beazley, Patron of the BrightSpark Foundation, was an enthusiastic speaker and guest at the presentation of the 2011 BrightSpark Fellowships on Thursday 24th Feb 2011. She spoke passionately about her research beginnings and inspired guests including past recipients of the Fellowship, members of the business community and the Board of BrightSpark.

Our 2011 recipients, Dr Shelley Gorman and Dr Louise Naylor, gratefully recieved floral bouquets, whilst our 2009 recipients Dr Andrew Currie and Dr Sarra Jamieson spoke vibrantly about their research projects.

Among the ALUMNI present were Professor Sarah Dunlop, Professor George Yeoh, Winthrop Professor Geoffrey Shellam and Dr Neil Kent.

It was clear from the general conversation that a BrightSpark Fellowship had been a tremendous stepping stone in the research career of our previous recipients.
