The 9th lecture was delivered by surgeon, Dr Caprice C. Greenberg, in May 2018. Temple's daughter Helen and grand daughter Charlotte, were in attendance, along with Professor Jennifer Byrne, a researcher who worked with Dr Temple. Professor Byrne spoke about Dr Temple's passion and advocacy for women in science, as well as her love for the environment and bush-walking. Temple was part of a group of senior faculty who studied the role and achievements of women academics. In the book that resulted from this work, entitled "Why So Few? Women Academics in Australian Universities", Temple wrote a chapter devoted to the place of women in science and medicine. This work prompted her to go on to play a key role in the establishment of Australia's Women in Science Enquiry Network (WiSEnet) to increase women's participation in the sciences, serving as the first National Convenor. In 2016, WiSEnet merged with the national organisation Women in STEMM Australia. In the following years, Temple gave many lectures and informal talks and published several articles on women in science. Temple was also a role model and mentor. Professor Judith Black, one of Temple's former students, said “She was a very good role model because not only was she such an active academic and researcher, but she also had a family and kids.” Temple's former colleague, Professor Graham Johnston, said “She had this quiet resolve to make sure women got a fair deal—in fact to make sure that everyone got a fair deal.”
