With thanks to Dr Craig Cormick, President, Australian Science Communicators
So it was pretty awesome watching Dr Jenny Graves win this year’s Prime Minister’s Prize for Science at Parliament House. Not only because she is the first female to win the prize in her own right, not only because she is still being busily active at 75, […]

Thank you to Joan Leach for the President’s Update!
