Bosch Young Investigators: The latest

Come and join us for the next installment of the latest and greatest in research by the Bosch Young Investigators.

As usual, the event will be followed by a BBQ and drinks in the courtyard for all attendees.

About the Young Investigator monthly seminar series

Once per quarter we gather to listen and discuss the work of our fellow young investigators in an informal and social atmosphere (drinks and nibbles provided!).

If you are interested in presenting some of your own work or discussing a scientific topic of interest, contact your discipline representative.

On Sunday 10th August a team of 15 Bosch researchers competed in the City to Surf, a fun run from Sydney to Bondi Beach. We represented the Bosch Institute, showing off the Bosch logo on our singlets over the 14km course, and placing 145th out of 696 teams in our category. Our fastest runner was Dr. Aaron Camp (Physiology) in a time of 60:49. Prof. Vladimir Balcar returned from injury and was our second fastest in a time of 68:06, and placed an amazing 67th in his age category.

The team consisted of the following other members: Haydn Allbutt, Jennifer Brockhausen, Katie Dixon, Qihan Dong, Teri Furlong, Jouji Horiuchi, Rin Horiuchi, Eddy Kim, Susanna Lam, Bei Li, Lucia Musumeci, Hayssam Sleitini and William Song. Some of us trained during the six weeks leading up to the race, running two or three 5km loops around the university and hospital on Tuesdays and Fridays. Most of our competitors had never run 14km before, and special mention must be made of Dr. Lucia Musumeci and Hayssam Sleitini, who attended every training session and improved dramatically – both runners achieved outstanding times on the day. Rin Horiuchi (daughter of Jouji, Physiology) travelled all the way from Japan and we were very happy to have her on our Bosch team.
