Welcome to Science at the Shine Dome 2019.
Before I begin, I too would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, the Ngunnawal people.
The Academy is committed to supporting excellence in science. To achieve this, it must celebrate and embrace diversity and inclusion in all its forms.
Seven Academy Fellows have been recognised in this year’s Queen’s Birthday honours list, including three who have received Australia’s highest accolade for their work, named as Companions in the General Division of the Order of Australia.
The Australian Academy of Science welcomes Louise Moes to the role of Manager Diversity and Inclusion, and the appointment of Paul Richards as Director Communications and Outreach.
