Congratulations to Surg. Lt. Cdr. Cara Swain RN, who *nailed* the public defence of her surgical PhD yesterday! Huge thanks to her supervisors at @karolinskainst (where PhD examination requires candidates to literally nail their thesis to the Library wall). Well done Cara!

Very much looking forward to working with fellow military and clinical surgical academics, collaborating with my Def Prof and DCA colleagues, and seeking new opportunities to bring the fruits of surgical research to our service people.

This really is the very last opportunity to get abstracts submitted for the @ResearchDefence conference. Email your work to surgery.science.skills@gmail.com by tonight to be considered for a poster or flash talk!

I cannot tell you how excited I am about how @ResearchDefence conference is coming together. The work behind the scenes has been incredible. I cannot thank my co-lead @abigail_spear @dstl_mod and the committee enough for the work, especially Laura at HearWELL. Just amazing.
