ANZSI Council has decided that the John Simkin Medal will not be offered in 2020. Instead, the process has been postponed and a new call for nominations will be issued in 2021.
This decision has been taken because of the COVID-19 emergency and the social isolation measures in force in all Australian states and territories and New Zealand. The postponement will reduce risk to ANZSI officers and our Judging Panel (risk associated with handling, packaging, distribution and redistribution of publications) and contribute to ‘flattening the curve’ in the growth of COVID-19 infections.
