Lectures

E Graeme Robertson Lecture

Prof Edward Byrne, Monash University

In 1976 the Council of the Australian Association of Neurologists, as the Association was then known, decided to fund an invited annual lecture in honour of E Graeme Robertson at each Annual Scientific Meeting of the Association. The first E Graeme Robertson Lecture was given in Hobart in 1978. There was a lecture given in each subsequent year with the exception of 1998 when unforseen circumstances prevented the lecturer from giving his presentation.

Mervyn J Eadie Lecture

Prof Garth Nicholson, University of Sydney

The Mervyn J Eadie Lecture was introduced in 2001 to honour members who have made a significant contribution to the neurosciences. Prof Mervyn Eadie is a distinguished neurologist, neuropharmacologist and author in Queensland. He has contributed to the Association in many
ways, in particular as the editor of "Clinical and Experimental Neurology", and the co-author of "Neurology in Australia" and "A Directory of Neurology in Australia". Prof Eadie also wrote the "The Flowering of a Waratah - A History of Australian Neurology and of the Australian Association of Neurologists"

Ian MacDonald Lecture

Prof Alastair Compston, University of Cambridge

Ian McDonald was an outstanding academic neurologist, a true friend of many in this Association, a mentor and supporter of trainees and someone whose passing will be greatly missed by all neurologists in Australia and New Zealand. The Ian McDonald lecture has been introduced to honour his enormous contribution to world neurology, and reflect the great warmth felt towards him by so many ANZAN members.
