Rachel Visontay

I completed my PhD at the University of Sydney in 2023. My thesis rigorously tested claims that moderate alcohol consumption has health benefits. I have a strong interest in statistical methods and research designs that help us tease apart correlation from causation. My primary work now involves researching the relationship between alcohol and the brain across the lifespan. I am also helping to generate global dementia incidence and prevalence statistics, as well as analysing the relationship between chronotype and mental health in adolescence.
