Rhea Liang and Kylie Lim holding the award certificate in front of a screen titled 'November Annual Academic Surgery Conference'.

One of my favourite duties is giving awards 🤗. This is the @amcollsurgeons.bsky.social ANZ Chapter Prize at the RACS #NAASC24, to Dr Kylie Lim for her presentation 'Economic and environmental footprint of PrecisionPoint prostate biopsies'. $2K and a spot to present at #RACS25 👏🎉

A slide titled 'Challenges' with three cliparts representing the challenges and a screenshot of a publication titled 'Variation in human research ethics committee and governance processes throughout Australia: a need for a uniform approach'.

Always good to hear Dr Chris Varghese speak, this time an update on the impressive work of Australasian collaborative research with >35 publications so far. Persisting challenges are a paucity of clinical academic training tracks, geographic dispersion, and (😤) ethics. #NAASC24

I adore watching Becke (Rebekah) White present. An inspiration as an academic woman surgeon and an exceptionally engaging speaker, here presenting on 'Immune effects of irreversible electroporation' for pancreas cancer. RACS @univsurg.bsky.social #NAASC24
