Oh no! Please don’t close the Cambridge vet school. My late twin sister learnt her vocation there and her subsequent successful career attests to the quality of the training that she received there

Vale Jim - a wonderful supporter of Australia’s teams in the International Science Olympiads

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

We are saddened to learn of the passing of the Academy's former President and former Chief Scientist of Australia, Dr Jim Peacock AC FAA FTSE FRS at the age of 87. Academy President, Professor Chennupati Jagadish AC, said Jim will be deeply missed and remembered as a champion of Australian science.

“Jim was dedicated to Australian science and the Academy right to the end, making a significant effort to attend our annual Science at the Shine Dome event just six weeks ago."

“Jim made outstanding contributions to Australian science, agriculture and science education over many years,” Professor Jagadish said.

Media release to follow.

Second that - Marvin has made stellar contributions to biomolecular chemistry.

Great to see here at RNA Leaders APAC-Singapore, one of my all-time chemistry heroes in person, the one and only Marvin Caruthers, who invented automated phosphoramidite chemistry of DNA which has underpinned the DNA genomic and RNA revolution.

Wonderful recognition and excellent news for Australian science. Warmest congratulations to Prof Robson.

[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

We are thrilled to congratulate Professor Richard Robson FAA FRS on being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The Academy Fellow shares this prize with his colleagues Professor Susumu Kitagawa FRS from Kyoto University and Professor Omar M. Yaghi from the University of California, Berkeley.

This Nobel Prize is a testament to the critical role fundamental research plays in the health and prosperity of all Australians.

“The work of Professor Robson and his colleagues was 46 years in the making. Yet their fundamental research has enormous applications, from harvesting water from the air to drug delivery and even carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere”, said Professor Chennupati Jagadish AC, President of the Australian Academy of Science.

“Our warmest congratulations go to Professor Robson and his colleagues for this significant achievement and global recognition,” Professor Jagadish said.
