The NSW section of the Australian Brain Bee Challenge is coordinated by Professor Vaughan Macefield, UWS School of Medicine. The competition motivates young people to learn about the brain and is designed to inspire them to pursue careers in biomedical research into neuroscience, an area of national priority. The UWS School of Medicine is hosting the State finals in 2008 and the State finalists will compete at the University of Queensland later in the year. The national winner will compete at the International Brain Bee Challenge, held in North America, next year.
For information about the 2008 finalists, please see the News page.
The Women of the West Award is an opportunity for members of the private, public and community sectors in Greater Western Sydney to join UWS in formally recognising the contribution women have made to the development of our region. Each year women who have made a positive difference to the lives of others in the Greater West are nominated by community members for the Woman of the West Award and the Young Woman of the West award. Nominations are sought in Spring each year and the winners are announced at the University’s International Women’s Day event the following March. Nominations of women working in the school sector are encouraged.
