Where are they now blog series

New HRI blog series ‘Where Are They Now?’

Celebrating the success of our HDR students

The HRI Director and Stream Leaders have had the privilege of supervising a number of higher degree by research students since the Holsworth Research Initiative began in 2019. These students now work across a broad range of industries including academia, applied sports science and clinical practice.

In this new series, we will update our subscribers on where our past HDR students are now and how their research degree with the La Trobe Health School and the Holsworth Research Initiative helped shape their career.

The Holsworth Research Initiative are incredibly proud of the students we supervise to completion and look forward to highlighting their success in this 8-part blog series.
