Dr Basil Hetzel : a National Treasure and Scientific Pioneer exhibition

City East Library, 14 March - 3 April 2011

This exhibition featured the career of Dr Basil Hetzel, and his pioneering work in the reduction of iodine deficiency disorders and their impact on brain development, particularly in the third world. It featured items from Dr Hetzel’s archival collection, including personal papers, photographs, and realia related to his work with International Council for Control of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (ICCIDD).

The Dr Basil Hetzel Collection is maintained by the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library, and housed at the UniSA City East campus.

The exhibition was installed to coincide with Brain Awareness Week (opens in new window), 14 - 20 March 2011
