Dr Mairead Ryan, who graduated from Darwin earlier this year with a PhD in Medical Sciences, is leading a newly launched venture sharing the latest research of child and adolescent health with parents and teachers.
Designed to support all those championing health and well-being in educational settings, School Health Pulse aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge health research and real-world impact.
They review and distil the latest studies, converting complex academic papers into accessible, easy-to-read articles. This means schools can make evidence-based decisions and implement positive changes.
“We’re passionate about sharing research findings in a way that’s clear and easy to understand for teachers, parents and others,” says Mairead. “When we do this, more children and young people can benefit. We’ve had really positive feedback so far, and we’re just getting started. We’re excited to see where we can take this together.”
We talked to Mairead ahead of her graduation in the spring, when the project was still in development. It’s wonderful to see it brought to fruition!
