Australia's science leaders are gathering in Canberra today for the Australian Academy of Science's annual celebration, Science at the Shine Dome.
Science at the Shine Dome this year celebrates 100 years since the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to the father-and-son Bragg team for their work in crystallography.
During the three-day event, 21 high achievers from all fields of science will be admitted as new Fellows of the Academy, and speak about their ground-breaking research, and winners of the Academy's 2015 career and early- to mid-career researcher awards will be presented with their medals and speak about their award-winning work.
On Thursday, the annual symposium, Minerals to medicines: 100 years of X-ray Crystallography, will celebrate the many and varied advances that have arisen from crystallography, both on Earth and in space, and provide a glimpse of the future – the prospect of crystallography without crystals.
