The Academy Medal was awarded to Australia’s former Chief Scientist, Professor Ian Chubb AC, at a special ceremony held at Ian Potter House on Thursday.
The event was attended by influential members of the science community to celebrate Professor Chubb’s outstanding contributions to science.
Earlier this year Academy Fellows elected Professor Chubb to join a distinguished list of past awardees including famous broadcasters, philanthropists and science communicators.
Professor Chubb’s illustrious career championing science—notably as our Chief Scientist, Vice Chancellor of the Australian National University, and president of the International Alliance of Research Universities—has provided opportunities for Australian scientists and researchers to flourish.
