Показать описание
Join us as we immerse ourselves in the world of immunology, at our first public speaker event for 2024.
Distinguished immunology researchers Professor Sharon Lewin and Associate Professor Misty Jenkins will explore the significant scientific contributions of Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet OM KBE FAA FRS FRSNZ, recent developments in immunology, and what the field may offer in the future.

The Australian Academy of Science’s public speaker series in 2024, our 70th anniversary year, will look at our history and into our future.

In each instalment, we will follow the story of one scientific discipline, with an Academy Fellow and an early-career researcher as our expert guides.

Across geology, virology, astronomy and more, we will trace history from landmark discoveries to the present cutting edge of Australian science.

Along the way, we will get to know the Academy’s iconic earliest Fellows who shaped Australian science: from Mark Oliphant to Frank Fenner to Dorothy Hill. We will experience the challenges and curly conundrums they grappled with, celebrate their triumphs and breakthroughs, and look ahead to today’s emerging generation of top minds following in their footsteps.

Thank you to the series convenors
Dr Oliver Mayo FAA FTSE, University of Adelaide
Professor Susanne von Caemmerer FAA FRS, Australian National University
Associate Professor Raffaella Demichelis, Curtin University
