[Australian Academy of Science @Science_Academy]

We’re proud to share that four Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science have been elected to the @RoyalSociety—one of the highest honours in science.

Among this distinguished group is Professor Chennupati Jagadish, President of the Academy, who has been elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) for his outstanding leadership in science policy and his pioneering work in semiconductor optoelectronics and nanotechnology. His impact extends from mentoring young researchers to national and international science strategy.

“There is a long history of collaboration between the Academy and the Royal Society. It is a particular honour for me to have been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society while serving as the President of our Academy.” — Academy President Professor Chennupati Jagadish AC

Joining him are:
• Professor Melissa Little (@MCRI_for_kids and @reNEW_global) – recognised for her international leadership in stem cell science and renal regeneration.
• Professor Bill Laurance (@jcu) – honoured for groundbreaking work on the ecological impacts of tropical forest degradation.
– Professor Hugh Possingham (@UQScience) – celebrated for contributions to ecological modelling and applying it to real-world conservation challenges.

Why did Antarctic marine conservation take a big step back at CCAMLR 43, and could it foreshadow greater geopolitical problems within the Antarctic Treaty System? @AnthonyPress @IMASUTAS @AntarcticaSouth https://t.co/62XPGMuH1i

ASOC Member @WWF_Antarctica statement on CCAMLR-43.
Nations failed to agree on new marine protected areas and rolled back crucial krill fisheries management, risking wildlife as krill catches may exceed 620,000 tonnes in vulnerable areas. 🦐https://t.co/DwXZRBw1op

Our new research published today in #Nature shows that natural forest regeneration in tropical regions—without costly interventions—can restore over 215 million hectares of forest, an area larger than Mexico #COP16 #COP16Colombia #COP16EnCali https://t.co/75vOWYS1El
