The Diana Temple Memorial Lecture series was established in 2007, in memory of the late Diana Temple AM. Diana Temple was a respiratory pharmacologist and Associate Professor at the University of Sydney, as well as one of the founders of the Women in Science Enquiry Network, or WISENET. She was appointed as a member of the Order of Australia in 1999, for service to medical and scientific research, particularly in the field of respiratory pharmacology, as an advocate for the role of women in science and in promoting an understanding of science by the general public. Diana Temple Memorial Lectures are organised to reflect Diana's interests, which included pharmacology, public engagement with science and policy, the advancement of the role of women in science, and the environment.
