About Amarni Newman

Hello and welcome to my Laidlaw scholarship experience!

 Last summer I had the privilege to carry out research on invasive freshwater crayfish (it's as glamorous as it sounds) and have since presented my research in three conferences. 

 This summer I will be heading to the Peruvian Amazon as part of my LiA documenting the realities of conservation and voluntourism on local communities and the environment.

You should feel very proud that you can handle difficult situations, especially in an unfamiliar environment, and for being able to organise  day worth of activities that I am sure those children will not soon forget.

This has been a very interesting chronicle of your project - I have greatly enjoyed binge reading your entries. I have been trying to connect my very limited memory of my neuro lectures to understand how this technology could be used to help rebuild synaptic connections for neurological patients. Super cool stuff!

Half way through, and I love your writing style. Makes me think that maybe I can understand physics (I cannot).

This research seems very important for so many reasons. As a STEM student, I can imagine this shift in teaching will give students more autonomy over their educations, as well as open up honest discussions about our heritage. 

Oh, and I love the poster design!

This is such an interesting topic to discuss. My grandmother works in a care home for the elderly, and we have often discussed whether these establishments should help its inhabitants connect via social media/technology to loved ones. Technology could also be a great method of mental stimulation for elderly folks who lack the mobility to enable social interaction and pursue hobbies.
