Congratulations HiPPP EMR-C 2023 Conference Award recipients!
Engaging, innovative, thought-provoking. This year’s HiPPP EMR-C Conference Award recipients delivered outstanding presentations on their areas of research.
The awards formed part of the annual Health in Preconception, Pregnancy and Postpartum Early- and Mid-Career Researcher Collective (HiPPP EMR-C) Conference, held at the University of Adelaide in October, which drew researchers from across the country, and some internationally, both in person and online, to share their work and hear the latest research in this specialised field.
Huge congratulations to this year’s winners! We took a moment with each to find out more about their chosen field and where their work is headed next. Click on each researcher’s presentation title below to see their responses.
