Congratulations to Associate Professor Freddy Sitas who was conferred the 2024 Life Membership Award by The Australasian Epidemiological Association (AEA).

The award was given in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the AEA and the field of epidemiology, particularly for his work on tobacco and more recently, vaping.

“These awards do not come in a vacuum, I want to acknowledge the thousands of co-authors and collaborators that I have worked with over the past three decades,” says A/Prof. Sitas, who is Chief Operations Officer at the UNSW International Centre for Future Health Systems.
