Dr James Kirby, from UQ’s School of Psychology was in shock when he initially read the email notifying him of his success in receiving an Endeavour Fellowship that will allow him to work at one of the United State’s most prestigious universities.
“I have always dreamt about working at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford, but I never really thought I would have the chance,” Dr Kirby said.
