So sorry to hear of the passing of Chris Del Mar, one of Australia's leading researchers in primary care. Thoughts are with Tammy and all his family and friends.

Amid the other news, a note of the passing of one of Australia's greatest scientists, Dr Ruth Bishop who discovered rotavirus in 1973. This led to the development of the rotavirus vaccine which has saved millions of lives globally. mcri.edu.au/news/vale-prof…
