Dr. Hayley Teasdale is a neuroscience researcher and head of science with the Australian Academy of Science, known for her advocacy in addressing the critical underfunding of scientific research in Australia. Following her PhD completion in Canberra, she faced a lack of local job opportunities, prompting her to work as a lead scientist at a neurotech company in San Francisco, where she focused on non-invasive brain stimulation treatments for Parkinson’s disease and depression. Teasdale has returned to Australia with a commitment to champion the Restore Science campaign, rallying support for increased research investment amid alarming declines in funding that threaten the nation's scientific progress and quality of life.
