Hi Adrian - I can definitely do.
One other person you might want to consider is
DR Fiona Fidler https://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person3224 - I met her at an OA week event last week.
Is there room to consider one more speaker, Julie McMullen from the Baker? [https://baker.edu.au/research/staff/julie-mcmullen] Following my event invitation email to their director (Thomas Marwick), I got the following response back from Julie:
Dear Suzanne,
Thank you for making us aware of this meeting.
I would be happy to attend on behalf of the Baker.
I have led a number of activities at the Baker to improve the quality of pre-clinical research and would be happy to share our own experiences.
I have also organised a number of sessions on this topic at conferences (details below). I would also be happy to speak to any of these.
Regards,
Julie

Julie's work looks interesting and we can offer her a 15 minute slot. The topics in her American Heart Association talk look more appropriate as they are broader, which should suit this audience.
Thanks, I'll let her know.
I am closing this because the speakers are now finalised.
