The 2019 Peter Goodenough Memorial Lecture was presented by Dr Norman Swan at the Queensland Brain Institute on 20 August 2019.

Lecture Title:
Serendipity……Curiosity……. Goal-driven…….

Summary:
These are key features of medical research and discovery. What’s the right balance if we truly want effective prevention, cures and new treatments? The talk will be part historical, part current and part speculative focusing on why we do medical research in Australia, the roles of the various drivers, the expectations of funders and donors and where philanthropy has sat and could sit in the future.
