Prof Michael Barton

We need to celebrate the fact that here in south west Sydney we’re doing some of the best research anywhere.

Prof Brad Frankum

We have a whole range of basic science and clinical research which we would never know was going on in south west Sydney if we didn’t have this kind of event.

A/Prof Kathy Gibson

People should know that innovation is the new way to go.

Good to get ideas, to be inspired and make new things.

Diana Odisho
Student

There is rarely an opportunity to get together and hear about what people outside of your own discipline are doing. I think that’s really important.

Then there’s the opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas when you do that.

Katherine Kelly
