Upcoming Meetings:

July 25^th, 2019

The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 25^th of July at the Royal Society Rooms, Kintore Ave, Adelaide at 5:30 pm.

This month we have another good speaker, Professor Eric Gowans from the University of Adelaide, who may be known to some members from his time at the IMVS some years ago. He will speak from an Australian viewpoint on the history of vaccines, which (I anticipate) will bring us into the age of molecular vaccines.

Prof. Eric Gowans - "The history of vaccines - an Australian perspective"

Members and guests are welcome.
