Success for Brain Bugs
In May 2020 Dr Katya Numbers, Dr Louise Mewton, Dr Claire Burley and Virginia Winter won the UNSW Medicine Movement Challenge. By logging their physical activity the CHeBA 'Brain Bugs' recorded over 1700 virtual kms to top a field of 57 teams and and win the race up Australia's West coast from Cerventes to Exmouth.
