Nobel Prize winner, Professor Elizabeth Blackburn, will be at the Australian Academy of Science’s Shine Dome in Canberra tomorrow as part of her Hooked on Science speaking tour to inspire Australian school students to take up science.
Tasmanian-born Professor Elizabeth Blackburn, now based at the University of California, will also speak about her exciting research into chromosome ends that has implications for cancer, ageing and stress.
Two award winning young ACT scientists from the Australian National University will kick off proceedings, sharing their journeys into science careers.
