Congratulation to Amanda Zdravkovic who won the Dr Michael Yung DES Academic Prize for 2025! This award presented by University of Adelaide and managed by the BCA, commemorates Dr. Michael Yung, who sadly passed away in December 2023. Dr. Yung had just completed Design of Randomised Control Trials (DES) as the final unit in a Graduate Diploma in Biostatistics, and he was in the process of planning research projects for the Master of Biostatistics award at the time of his tragic death. This award celebrates Dr. Yung’s dedication to learning and his desire to use his statistical skills to improve the quality and rigour of research in his specialty area of paediatric intensive care. The prize aims to inspire BCA students to pursue excellence in their own educational journeys.
