The Australian Academy of Science recognises and supports the outstanding contributions to the advancement of science. The honorific awards were recently announced. These are divided in two categories: awards of medals and prizes are made to early career scientists under the age of 40, and the prestigious career awards are made to scientists for life-long achievement.
Andy was awarded the Frederick White Prize which recognises the achievements of scientists in Australia who are engaged in research of intrinsic scientific merit which has an actual or potential contribution to community interests, to rural or industrial progress or to the understanding of natural phenomena. As part of the award Andy will be giving a lecture at the Shine Dome in May 2012.
