The Academy welcomes the announcement by the ABC Chair, the Hon Jim Spigelman, that the ABC will begin consultations with peak science organizations, including the Academy, to establish a Reference Panel with expertise in scientific research, science education and science communication.
The science panel is the first quality reference panel established to give advice to the ABC and will, if successful, serve as a model for other program areas.
Academy Fellow Professor Fiona Stanley (pictured) will chair the Reference Panel.
