Sip on Science 2026 – Celebrating Medical Research Week

HMRI Sip on Science 2025

Join us at HMRI's Sip on Science during Medical Research Week, a national celebration of the life-changing impact of health and medical research.

Our Sip on Science community event combines relaxation, conversation, and discovery. Enjoy a free coffee in a new HMRI-branded mug, unwind with a calming free Pilates session, and connect with researchers who are tackling some of our region’s biggest health challenges — from mental health and dementia to gut health, asthma, and pre-term birth.

The grass space will be transformed into a welcoming hub with picnic rugs, beanbags, cushions, and umbrellas — the perfect spot to chat with researchers, pick up some HMRI merchandise, and learn about the latest medical breakthroughs happening right here in our community.

Register for your FREE Pilates session

Grace Movement Pilates will be holding three 45 minute group classes to strengthen and tone the whole body with a focus on breath, technique, and alignment. All levels welcome - Work to your level is encouraged.

This year the classes will be held on the beach so bring your towels instead of mats!  We will also be offering a beautiful sunrise class this year.

Sessions will be held at 5.30 am, 6.30 am and 7.30 am. There are limited spaces in each session so registration is essential.
