I’m really excited to announce that I’ve been named one of the 2020 SA Young Tall Poppies by the Australian Institute of Policy and Science (AIPS).
The prestigious annual Young Tall Poppy Science Awards aim to recognise the achievements of Australia’s outstanding young scientific researchers and communicators. In particular, the ‘Tall Poppies’ are awarded to those who promote interest in science among school students and teachers, as well as an understanding and appreciation of science in the broader community.
I was one of three researchers from Flinders University recognised for our research and communication efforts, and I feel honoured to be in the company of hydrogeologist Dr Margaret Shanafield and archaeologist Dr Ian Moffat in this year’s cohort.
Congratulations to all other awardees, and many thanks to my supporter and nominator, Prof. John Long. There will be an official award ceremony in September held in the Reading Room of the Barr Smith Library with South Australia’s Governor, His Excellency Honourable Hieu Van Le.
