2018 Research Week Awards Dinner
Last night we celebrated the 2018 Research Week Awards Dinner where 11 grant and four poster award recipients were announced. These grants will enable all of the recipients to put their research into action and steer the future of their chosen topics.
“Without research we would have no insights into preventing disease, no new treatments, no ways to ensure what we are doing works, no way to understand the needs of our patients and no way to know if we’re making a difference.”
Tonight we celebrate the 2018 #ResearchWeek Awards Dinner.

Team Recipes - Tonjiru Miso Soup
Tonjiru is filling and so delicious. It is considered to be a winter dish served at home, festivals and parties in Japan, but I have it all year round. I never met a person who doesn’t like this fabulous soup!

Endometrios(US) not Endometrios(YOU)
The ever-dreaded menstrual cycle, long known as the beacon of a transition period, literally, between girlhood to womanhood. It’s a customary part of the maturing process of our bodies where us females are taught from a young age that we should expect two things during so: bleeding and discomfort.
New Church for Box Hill
The heart of Box Hill is getting a $10 million blessing.
