Message from Professor Bryan Williams, Hudson Institute Director and CEO
I am sure you are all aware
that Professor David de Kretser is retiring at the end of the month. Last week we held a dinner for some of David's closest friends, family and colleagues to
celebrate his extraordinary achievements and contributions to medical research
and the impact he has made throughout his career.
I would like to thank the staff and students who helped make this evening such a great success.

David was instrumental in
creating what is now the Hudson Institute and although he is retiring, his time
with the Institute will not end. He will continue as Emeritus Director and
Distinguished Scientist and you will most likely see him from time to time on
our precinct continuing to engage in his scientific pursuits.
One of David's notable achievements was the establishment of
Andrology Australia which aims to raise awareness and understanding of men's
reproductive health and associated conditions. After 16 years, the Federal
Government has now withdrawn funding from Andrology Australia - placing this
important national resource at risk. At last nights function we circulated a
petition initiated by Prof Rob McLachlan, Andrology Australia Director, asking
that the government reinstate funding. I would be grateful if you could show
your support for Andrology Australia (and our colleague Rob) by adding your
signatures. The petitions are now with Shallu at Hudson Reception; please help with
this important cause.
