Farewell to Penny Buykx
The Monash School of Rural Health Research in Bendigo farewelled Dr Penny Buykx in June.
Penny has taken up a senior research position with the Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.
To ease the transition, staff provided a cake with a map of the journey at a farewell dinner. On Penny’s last day, morning tea treats included Aussie “must-haves”…pavlova, lamingtons, Tim Tams and Mint Slices as well as Sheffield delicacies such as Parkin, Flapjacks and Eccles Cakes.
Penny will continue to maintain her links with the school through her alcohol research work conducted jointly with Dr Bernie Ward.
