Do you know how to do CPR if someone has a cardiac arrest? Have you ever spent time with someone who uses a wheelchair? Ever considered how you would give CPR to that person who is using a wheelchair? My research aims to provide people with knowledge and ideas for exactly that scenario, someone you love in a wheelchair that’s needing CPR. For carers, supporters, loved ones and wheelchair users the idea of having to provide CPR is a terrifying thought. I aim to reduce that fear and save lives.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
