  • Etymology: "Named after Elsie Jean Dalyell (1881–1948), a pioneering Australian medical doctor. In 1912, Elsie Dalyell became the first Australian woman to receive the Beit Memorial Fellowship for Medical Research, which took her to the Lister Institute of Preventative Medicine in London, where she studied gastroenterology in children. She left the institute when World War I broke out in 1914 and applied for service with the Royal Army Medical Corps but was rejected on the grounds that she was a woman. She then volunteered with the Serbian Relief Fund during the typhus epidemic in Macedonia. Subsequently, she served on the Western Front in an all-female medical unit of the Scottish Women’s Hospital. In 1916, Elsie Dalyell joined the Royal Army Medical Corps when army policy changed. In 1923, she returned to Australia as an internationally renowned pathologist."
