Upcoming Meetings:

February 27^th, 2020

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 27^th of February at the Royal Society Rooms, Kintore Ave, Adelaide at 5:30 pm.

We start our year with Emeritus Professor Alastair MacLennan speaking on the history of reproduction using the Royal family, and their influence, to illustrate advances.
Following on from Dr Tom Turner's 'quackery' comments in his December presentation, Alastair is likely to touch on this topic too.

Emeritus Professor Alastair MacLennan, AO - "Advances in reproduction over 200 years, as illustrated by the British and Australian Royal families: from Princess Charlotte to Queen Camilla"

Members and guests are welcome.
