This is a special event this year as we are celebrating our 25th Research Day here at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Basil Hetzel Institute! Everyone who has played a role in the event, as presenters, organisers and sponsors over the years should feel proud of this accomplishment. 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. Please support the presenters at all these sessions! Many people have contributed to the success of this Day and we would like to thank all those involved. In particular, we thank: Our Major Sponsor, The Hospital Research Foundation -

What does that mean and why are so many wonderful animals found in our back yards?

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.
