President of the Australian Academy of Science, Professor Suzanne Cory, will focus on the serious issues facing science in Australia and launch the Academy’s policy platform for the 2013 federal election, during her address at the National Press Club of Australia on 3 July 2013.

Professor Cory will talk about how the current piecemeal approach is threatening food and water security, Australia’s natural heritage; our capacity to build a skilled workforce; and our international competitive edge.

She’ll set out the alternative futures for Australia: evolution or devolution.

Professor Cory will herald a national strategy to strengthen and sustain science and research to build a healthier, more resilient Australia.
