Impression of the 2022 APEC Australia Women in Research Fellowship
I was honoured to be part of the judging panel for the 2022 Women Fellowship, although our job was made difficult due to the sheer number of world-class projects on offer. The breadth and quality of the research presented to the panel were breathtaking – I wish we could have funded them all.
