Eureka Prize Spotlight: memory research on domestic violence survivors reshapes forensic science
Australian forensic psychologist Helen Paterson won a Eureka prize for research showing that repeated domestic-violence memories tend to be gist-like and may blur across episodes, yet remain highly accurate about events, a finding that could influence how survivor testimony is received in court; other Eureka winners include Jane Tiller for genetic-discrimination legislation and Georgina Long for melanoma research.
