The winners of the Australian Academy of Science 2012 awards for scientific excellence have been announced.
Congratulations to Prof Tanya Monro, winner of the Pawsey Medal for research in physics.
In announcing the medals and awards, Academy President Professor Suzanne Cory said:
“Each year, it is the Academy’s privilege to recognise excellence in diverse fields of science. Several of the awards celebrate career-long contributions by some of Australia’s most distinguished researchers; others draw attention to remarkable discoveries made by younger investigators. The Academy warmly congratulates each of these outstanding awardees.”
Tanya will receive her medal at the Academy’s annual conference being held from 2 to 4 May 2012.
