Presentations at the Society for Research on Nicotine & Tobacco (SRNT) conference in Edinburgh

Several ASPIRE Aotearoa members attended the Society for Research on Nicotine & Tobacco (SRNT) conference in Edinburgh earlier this year. 

Highlights included a very well-received workshop led by Anaru Waa, which included presentations from ASPIRE and CREATE (the Centre for Research into Tobacco Endgames at the University of Queensland) team members on endgame research. Other ASPIRE members to give oral presentations included Lani Teddy, Janine Nip, and Janet Hoek. 

It was a fantastic opportunity for our team to gain knowledge and build connections in tobacco research.
