ASTA proudly congratulates the 19 outstanding individuals and teams recognised at the 2024 Australian Museum Eureka Prizes! The Eureka Prizes celebrate brilliance in Australian science across four key categories: Research & Innovation, Leadership, Science Engagement, and School Science.
We are especially thrilled to see Professor Euan Ritchie of Deakin University among this year’s winners! 🌿 As a renowned advocate in the face of climate change and biodiversity loss, Professor Ritchie’s work spans from writing popular articles and thought-provoking opinion pieces to live-tweeting his field research. He’s also the creative mind behind the popular ‘Australian Mammal of the Year’ competition, which has captivated the public and promoted a deeper appreciation of our unique wildlife.
Professor Ritchie, who was a keynote speaker at our recent CONASTA71 conference in Melbourne, is a vital voice in guiding policy and raising awareness of how science can address environmental challenges. His recognition is a testament to his impact and dedication to science communication and conservation.
