Laureates Awarded to Australasian Science Journalists

By Luntz, Stephen

Dr Peter Pockley, who pioneered science media in Australia (ABC, 1964) and has contributed to Australasian Science and its predecessor Search since their inception, has been recognised by Purdue University in Indiana, USA, as one of a select international group of Science Journalism Laureates (2007). The citation reads: “In gratitude for your role in disseminating science knowledge for the good of the world”.

Simon Grose, another regular contributor to Australasian Science, was admitted as a Science Journalism Laureate in 2006.

Both Laureates joined in a program of public meetings about issues in science and science journalism and in learning about research at the university.
