Professor Jane Langdale, of the Plant Sciences Department at the University of Oxford, and Professor Erwin Neher, of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Germany, have been admitted as Corresponding Members of the Australian Academy of Science for their outstanding contributions to science.
As we move through different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal and state and territory governments are making decisions that directly affect our lives in many ways. Each one involves a myriad of complex and important considerations to weigh up, with the future implications of today’s decisions very much on the minds of politicians and the community.
The Academy’s response to COVID-19 remains strong and highly focused to where it will benefit most.
The impact of COVID-19 on Australian schools and schooling is significant. The Academy is offering support, advice and resources to systems, schools and teachers as they provide alternative methods of delivering education to students at home.
The Academy’s iconic Shine Dome is the perfect venue for Canberra meetings and events.
Nominations are open for the Academy’s 2021 honorific awards, and applications open for research conferences, research awards and travelling fellowships.
Australia and New Zealand’s science, research and innovation sectors have united to provide governments with the latest and best evidence as they contain and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak.
