Upcoming events at the Walter and Eliza Hall

Posted by Roger Wilson

The Club’s visit to the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in July.

Sally Cane who showed us around in July, has advised as follows”-

The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute has some upcoming events that I thought the Rotary Club of Nunawading members may be interested in.

The institute will be holding a free public event about our latest lung cancer research on 22 November at 5.30pm. Tours of the lung cancer laboratories will be also available at the event. This is a free event, but RSVP is essential.

The Biomedical Breakthroughs exhibition is currently being held at the Melbourne Museum. The exhibition brings to life the history of biomedical research in Melbourne to celebrate the centenaries of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and CSL. The exhibition is open until 20 January 2017. Further details about the exhibition can also be found in a recent Sydney Morning Herald article: www.smh.com.au/entertainment/m27cover-20160809-gqoqjz.html

I look forward to catching up with you and the Rotary Club of Nunawading members soon.

Best wishes,

Sally provided flyers on the above two events and I can forward them to any members who are interested.
