Dr Mary Wyer reports.

The highlight of the meeting for me was learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders, including Richard Fejo’s beautiful and informative welcome to country, the Aboriginal Voices panel, and the wonderful Upai Purri Dancers. I also learned how to treat a snake bite AND I got to hold a crocodile. In all, it was great event that really helped me to identify where our team’s research fits into the bigger picture. I’m very keen to go back “up the escalator” to Darwin to collaborate!
