- Careers
My guest on the ResourcefulHDR podcast his month is Dr. Rebecca Gelding. Rebecca recently started a new job as Project Officer (ARC Centre of Excellence for Children and Familes over the Life Course)
Rebecca speaks about her research, her career choices and how important it is to stay true to herself.
Rebecca’s award-winning PhD thesis investigated what is going on in the brain as people imagine musical pitch and rhythm. Her research has featured on ABC's All in the Mind Podcast, ABC Classic and ABC Science, and in 2019 she presented at the sold-out TEDx Macquarie University, and had the audience on their feet singing. Earlier this year she even played Chopsticks on the Steinway & Sons piano in City Recital Hall in front of a live lunchtime audience all in the name of science communication.
I began following Rebecca when she was still doing her PhD and as a result saw that she was going to be ia guest on the ABC Radio Sydney and so I tuned in to hear about her fascinating research. I was then lucky enough to be in the audience for her talk at TEDx Macquarie University in September last year. Rebecca’s TEDx talk has now had over 540000 views!
You can also read Rebecca's posts Music on the Mind blog created during her PhD and listen to the PioneeringMinds podcast
