Fantastic turnout for our research info session for MD 1 & 2 students. We were expecting 25 ppl, and recorded nearly 3x that number! Good news for the future of medical research in QLD, not so good for the hungry students who missed out on the free 🍕 that was devoured in 5min 😬

[Priorities in Global Burns Research @burnspriorities]

One causes of #researchwaste is when #research doesn't investigate what's most important to patients, carers and clinicians. So we're working with @LindAlliance to find the Top 10 priorities for #burnsurvivors and #burns clinicians. Take our survey here: https://t.co/W7cHvf8b3k

'collaborative' research is a buzzword but for plastics trainees it means a @RACSurgeons /@ACTPRASurgery supported environment to produce impactful research. @CodyFrear @guylenical & Michael Findlay explain why the plastics community should get involved:
