Professor Kirk will deliver the morning’s Grand Rounds lecture and in the evening, close a day of poster and oral presentations with a lecture on Science and the Surgeon . In his keynote address, Professor Kirk discussed the decline in funding for surgical research and suggested that the main impediment is incentives: “ The financial rewards of doing research are limited. And in surgery, the gap between the fiscal rewards of research and clinical practice is the widest. ”
