I would particularly like to acknowledge the Committee of Graduate Studies (Medical Staff Society, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital) for their foresight and enthusiasm in initiating the first Research Day back in 1992 and for their ongoing involvement over the years. Research Day has now become a major event in the research calendar and is acknowledged as playing an important role in the professional development of the next generation of researchers. This year, the Committee was pleased to receive 34 Abstracts. Twenty students will give oral presentations on Research Day and the other 14 will take part in the Poster Competition. The preliminary Poster Competition will be held on Tuesday 18 October from 9.30 to 11.30 am and the Poster Finals will be held from 1.20 to 2.00 pm on Research Day.

What does that mean and why are so many wonderful animals found in our back yards? Our speaker will answer this question and then reveal his 20 favourite animals in our space (and why) and encourage everyone to make their own list and choose their own special animal. Speaker: Prof Chris Daniels, inaugural Director of Cleland Wildlife Park and adjunct professor of Biology in the School of Pharmacy & Medical Sciences at UniSA. He is a very well known science communicator and is focused on conserving wildlife and connecting people with nature. Among his many outstanding achievements, Chris has also published award-wining books on nature. As the Patron of Junior Field Naturalists SA, Chris also initiated the free memberships for each child member of our Club to Cleland Wildlife Park. He has provided enormous assistance to our Club over many years and is always ready to step in when needed. We are privileged to have Chris as the Patron of our Club, and we are delighted that he will be presenting the talk for this month. Not to be missed!
