## Resource

Helen Paterson just won a major Eureka Prize for revealing how trauma reshapes memory—and why domestic violence survivors’ testimony is often unfairly dismissed. Her research shows that while details may blur across repeated incidents, the core truth remains intact—yet courts and defense teams routinely use these inconsistencies to undermine credibility. Worse, survivors of repeated abuse are seen as less honest and competent than those with single traumatic events, creating a vicious cycle where the more someone’s been hurt, the less they’re believed. Paterson hopes her award sparks systemic change, ensuring victims are taken seriously. Also honored: Jane Tiller, whose advocacy led to a national law banning life insurers from using genetic data to deny coverage—empowering people to act before illness strikes.
