This week we chat with Professor Lynne Parkinson, a health services researcher who is currently working on a project to support carers of people with dementia. We hear how her flair for academia started early in a two-room school in Cracow in western Queensland where in first grade she was doing grade four mathematics. We learn that her academic excellence eventually led her into a science degree, followed shortly after by Honours and a PhD which she completed while raising a family. We hear how her early research projects included a national campaign against drug abuse and also cancer prevention, while much of her work since joining CQUni has centred around supporting the aged care industry in various research endeavours. We hear about her passion for the 'Caring for Carers' project and how dementia has not only touched her professional life, but also her personal life. Finally, we hear how speed reading has helped in her academic endeavours and also with her love of fiction books.
