Episode Synopsis "Episode 91 - Improving Cancer Treatment And Academic Leadership With Prof Anna Nowak"

Prof Anna Nowak joins us in the studio for a chat about the many strings to her bow. From studying music and playing the violin during school (and learning the flute more recently), through to treating cancer patients and investigating how to improve treatment outcomes, Anna’s career is a source of inspiration for many people. Anna talks us through what drew her to practicing cancer medicine, getting involved in cancer research, and the many national and international collaborations that Anna has been a part of (including plenty of early Saturday morning calls!). The conversation progresses to Anna’s current role as the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research) (DVC-R) at UWA. We discuss Anna’s pathway from clinician and research through to becoming one of the most senior academic leaders at UWA. Anna shares with us what her current role as DVC-R involves, and her observations on the current state of the university and research sector more broadly. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
