As part of this review process and as detailed in the Invitation to Comment paper, the panel invites comments to be received no later than 31 May 2023.

Aaand that's a wrap! Thanks to everyone who attended the Wyvern Society Virtual Annual Drinks. Huge heartfelt congratulations to David Lawrence, the 2020 Wyvern of the Year (ask him about the marsala & coke!). His ambassadorship with the Indigenous Literacy Foundation is nothing short of inspiring. Thanks to Nicole Crook and Ben Fon for all the hard work they put into organising it.

Special mention for Cameron Wolfe, for his sterling infectious diseases work, along with Julia Maguire (WHO) and Megan Robertson at St Vincent's. The Wyverns on the Telly were Ben McKenzie and Jesse Zanker. (Dan Ziffer doesn't count bc he's always on 😜)
