ANNE
MARTIN MEMORIAL FUND
The Section Executive has decided to establish a memorial
to Anne Martin and is seeking contributions from members of
the Australasian Section.
Given Anne’s passionate interest in monotremes, we propose
to use the monies received to support a research project investigating
an important health issue in monotremes, for example some
aspect of Mucor amphibiorum infection in platypus.
Alternatively, should sufficient financial support be forthcoming
from members, we may consider the possibility of investing
that sum and using the accumulated interest for an occasional
award to a student for presentation on a topic related to
monotremes at the annual conference of the Australasian Section
of the WDA.
We encourage all members to consider assisting us in this
worthy tribute to our lost colleague.
Contributions should be paid directly into the WDA Account
noting that they are for the Anne Martin Memorial Fund.
Bank details are:
Citibank Account
Name: Wildlife Disease Association (Australasian)
BSB: 243-300
Account Number: 470151374
Of course you can also write a cheque to the account name
above. This should be forwarded to the new treasurer, Rupert
Baker.
He
can be contacted at rbaker@zoo.org.au
Thanking you in advance
The WDA-Aust Executive
