	Upon retirement in 2001 she was appointed Emeritus Professor and has since been extraordinarily active, particularly in the International Union of Physiological Sciences, chairing its Education committee. She is frequently invited to run medical education workshops internationally, particularly in South-East Asia, and has acted as a consultant on aspects of medical and physiology education locally, nationally and internationally. Ann was elected to the University of Sydney Senate in 2001 and again in 2005, becoming Pro-Chancellor in 2003 and Deputy-Chancellor for the term 2004 to 2007.

	Between 1965 and 1973 she was a temporary, part-time and then full-time lecturer in physiology at the University of Sydney, working her way up to become Associate Professor in 1985 and Professor in 1992, retaining her Personal Chair until 2001.

	During her BSc (Med), encouraged by Peter Bishop who taught her electrophysiological techniques, Ann produced two early papers on visual connections, in collaboration with Bill Hayhow, which are still cited. Some of her most interesting findings during her PhD work with Liam Burke included the first observations on the way in which information is regulated by an interplay of excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms when passing from the eye to the cerebral cortex. She also developed some new descriptions of the connections, anatomical arrangements and the functions of a number of visual centres of the brain, in collaboration with Bogdan Dreher in Anatomy, at a time when interdepartmental collaboration was actively discouraged. Ann has supervised 11 PhDs and 25 BSc(Med) or BSc (honours) students.

	Another intriguing and surprising observation Ann and her colleagues made, since confirmed in other areas, was that during the development of the mammalian visual system, when it would be assumed that neuronal numbers would be increasing consistently, significant numbers of cells are lost. More recently, with one of her PhD students (Paul Martin), she has made further unexpected observations in mammals with colour vision, which provide evidence that the pathways which transmit red-green information are segregated from blue pathways.

	Beyond scientific research, Ann has made extensive contributions to medical education at the University of Sydney, receiving one of the University’s inaugural awards for Teaching Excellence in 1990 and in 1998, an Australian Award for University Teaching. Between 1988 and 1992 she was Sub-Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, responsible for students in the first three years of the medical program. From the 1980s, she and other colleagues became concerned that many students chose to study medicine because they achieved the excellent school results that were required; indeed, many were pressured by parents and schools to enrol. In her belief that medical students need a view of the world that extends beyond the scientific, Ann (then Associate Dean) led initial discussions in the Faculty on the development of an integrated, problem-based graduate medical program in 1991. She travelled to Harvard University Medical School in the United States where Stephen Leeder was on sabbatical leave; both were convinced that aspects of its ‘New Pathway’ medical program could be adopted in Australia. Appointed Associate Dean (Curriculum Development) in 1994, Ann was able to apply her findings to the extensive planning and development of the Faculty’s new Graduate Medical Program, which was first implemented in 1997, in collaboration with Jill Gordon and Michael Field. From 1999 to 2001, she joined the Faculty of Dentistry half-time as Associate Dean to assist in the development of a graduate entry dental program.
