In November the Australian Academy of Science announced the winners of some of Australia’s most prestigious science awards.
These include three new awards for early- and mid-career researchers, celebrating the careers of eminent biologists Sir Gus Nossal and Professor Jacques Miller, and engineer Professor John Booker.
The winners of these new awards have undertaken pioneering research developing treatments for malaria, devising new drugs to treat obesity and making cheaper and more efficient solar cells.
Each year, through the generous support of donors, the Academy presents awards to recognise scientific excellence, from researchers in the early stage of their careers to those who have made life long achievements. In addition, the Academy awards a number of grants and fellowships to help support scientists’ research, scientific conferences and international travel.
The honorific awards will be formally presented at the Academy’s annual three-day celebration of Australian science, Science at the Shine Dome, in Canberra on 26-28 May 2015.
