SUMMARY:Professor Emeritus Rosemary Ryall BSc (Hons)\, PhD\, DSc. - "Gifts of the Body and the Needs of Medicine"
DESCRIPTION:Professor Emeritus Rosemary Ryall retired in 2010 from her position as Chief Medical Scientist and Professor of Urological Research in the Department of Surgery at the Flinders Medical Centre and Flinders University\, South Australia. \n  \nRose’s initial involvement in the urodynamics service of the Urology Unit developed into a role oriented more to basic urological research\, with her primary interests focused on biochemical factors\, especially proteins\, affecting the formation of human kidney stones. She has delivered 50 invited international lectures and published more than 190 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters. In recognition of her published work in the field of urolithiasis research she was awarded a Doctorate of Science from the Australian National University in 1998 and a Lifetime Achievement Award by her international stone colleagues in 2012. \n  \nIn addition to her scientific interests\, for many years Rose has been intensely concerned with the ethics of human experimentation\, especially that involving the use of human tissues or products\, and has often been asked to speak on the ethics of medical research. She was a member of the Flinders Medical Centre Clinical Research Ethics Committee from 1990 until her retirement in 2010\, and in 1997 was a founding member of the Human Research Ethics Committee of Calvary Hospital\, to which she still contributes.

SUMMARY:Dr Jeff Nicholas KJSJ - "The Streets of Adelaide"
DESCRIPTION:Dr Jeffery Howard Nicholas considers himself to be a quintessential South Australian. Born in Mt Gambier at the beginning of World War II\, his early education could only be described as truncated\, as the family moved from one government appointment to another. Moving gave him a wide appreciation of country life before he finally settled in Adelaide to further his education. \nMatriculating from Adelaide Boys High School\, Dr Nicholas attended Adelaide Teachers College and The University of Adelaide\, with appointments to follow at Mt Barker High School and Gilles Plains High School before he taught Health and Physical Education at Salisbury Teachers College. After eventually completing a Doctor of Education at Boston University in 1981\, Dr Nicholas transferred to Sturt College of Advanced Education which became part of Flinders University\, from where he ultimately retired in 1995 as Head of Health and Physical Education. \nHis passion for South Australian history grew in retirement. Dr Nicholas has a passion for South Australian history\, which grew during his tenure as President of the Pioneers Association of South Australia. \nHis debut three-volume book Behind the Streets of Adelaide — Born of Reform: A pantheon of dissent is to be published by Torrens Press and launched on 23 May 2016.
