New blog post! 💻 This month’s #DiscoveringLiveability blog post comes from Dr Hazel Marzetti and discusses her recent site visit to Australia.
This is the second in a series of site visits within our project – if you’d like to read this blog or any of our previous posts, follow the link below!
A large orange sign with 'Black Dog Institute' in capital black letters sits in front of a 2 story white building. There's a tree trunk and other greenery surrounding the sign. Blue sky is visible in the very top corner and rays of sun can be seen shining down.
In the foreground a long forest green coloured sign with copper coloured posts has the word 'orygen' in orange lettering. In the background a food path winds back into the distance with grass/shrubs on either side and several tall trees. The sky is blue.
Our Co-Investigator Hazel Marzetti @hazelmarzetti.bsky.social flew to Australia last month for our second international site visit, which included meetings with researchers at @orygen.org.au and Black Dog Institute. Stay tuned for more updates on this visit and new learnings next year!
Through poetry and hand-crafted animation, we tell the story of lived experience in research at McPin. When researchers work on topics that personally resonate, we call it peer research.
