Suzanne Cory Medal For Biomedical Sciences
The Suzanne Cory Medal for Biomedical Sciences, also known as the Suzanne Cory Medal, is an annual award from the Australian Academy of Science. The area of research recognised by the prize alternates yearly, from the biomedical sciences to all the biological sciences (excluding biomedical sciences). First established in 2021, it was named in honour of Suzanne Cory, an Australian molecular biologist. Cory's research advanced the understanding of the genetic causes of cancer. The award is open to all genders and any Australian biological science researcher. Winners The medal was first awarded in 2021 and annually since: * 2021 – Susanne von Caemmerer, plant physiologist & John Endler, evolutionary biologist * 2022 –Georgia Chenevix-Trench, cancer researcher * 2023 – Catherine Lovelock, marine biologist and ecologist & Terence Hughes, marine biologist * 2024 – Peter Koopman Peter Anthony Koopman (born 3 December 1959) is an Australian biologist best known for his r ...

Australian Academy Of Science
The Australian Academy of Science was founded in 1954 by a group of distinguished Australians, including Australian Fellows of the Royal Society of London. The first president was Sir Mark Oliphant. The academy is modelled after the Royal Society and operates under a Royal Charter; as such, it is an independent body, but it has government endorsement. The Academy Secretariat is in Canberra, at the #The Shine Dome, Shine Dome. The objectives of the academy are to promote science and science education through a wide range of activities. It has defined four major program areas: :* Recognition of outstanding contributions to science :* Education and public awareness :* Science policy :* International relations The academy also runs the 22 Australian Academy of Science National Committees, National Committees for Science which provide a forum to discuss issues relevant to all the scientific disciplines in Australia. Origins The Australian National Research Council (ANRC) was est ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Susanne Von Caemmerer
Susanne von Caemmerer is an Australian plant physiologist who is a professor and plant physiologist in the Division of Plant Sciences, Research School of Biology at the Australian National University; and the Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis. She has been a leader in developing and refining biochemical models of photosynthesis. Education von Caemmerer received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics in 1976 from Australian National University, she received her PhD in plant physiology in 1981. Career and Research With Graham Farquhar and Joe Berry, her early work in plant physiology led to the development of a biochemical model of C3 photosynthesis. The model that mathematically describes the balance of photosynthetic limitations between light-driven energy supply and carbon diffusion substrate supply has become a cornerstone of research into photosynthesis at the leaf-level and carbon fluxes at larger scales. She curre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Endler

Awards Established In 2021
An award, sometimes called a distinction, is something given to a recipient as a token of recognition of excellence in a certain field. When the token is a medal, ribbon or other item designed for wearing, it is known as a decoration. An award may be described by three aspects: 1) who is given 2) what 3) by whom, all varying according to purpose. The recipient is often to a single person, such as a student or athlete, or a representative of a group of people, be it an organisation, a sports team or a whole country. The award item may be a decoration, that is an insignia suitable for wearing, such as a medal, badge, or rosette (award). It can also be a token object such as certificate, diploma, championship belt, trophy, or plaque. The award may also be or be accompanied by a title of honor, as well as an object of direct value such as prize money or a scholarship. Furthermore, an honorable mention is an award given, typically in education, that does not confer the recipient( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
