Maria Kavallaris: Excited to Be Speaking at UNSW’s One Big Idea Forum

Maria Kavallaris, Non-Executive Board Director at National Breast Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Excited to be speaking at UNSW’s One Big Idea forum on 14 October!
For one night only, UNSW academics, researchers, and PhD students will take the stage to share how a single concept in their field could revolutionise life on earth. I’m honoured to be part of this inspiring lineup, presenting on Tailor-Made Childhood Cancer Treatments — exploring how the tiniest tools, nanoparticles, could help beat childhood cancer.

Join us for an evening of hope, innovation, and bold thinking. You’ll hear from:

  • Dr Charu Maithani – Rewiring AI: Rethinking machine learning to expand our visual vocabulary
  • Dr Alison Goldingay – The Power of Light: Quantum technologies and the next frontier
  • Ann Flemming Nielsen – Grand Designs for our Ocean’s Habitats: Urban engineering meets marine restoration
  • Dr Regina Jefferies – Reframing Rescue: Community-led disaster response
  • Dr Alexis Minchaca Acosta – Unpicking the Lock to the Blood-Brain Barrier: Unlocking treatments for brain cancer
  • Dr Gabi Nudelman – Kind by Design: How radical kindness is transforming universities

Each speaker has just ten minutes to share their big idea — and every one promises to spark new ways of thinking in our ever changing world.

Save the date: 14 October
