"Hundreds of scientists from across the country have gathered at the Australian
Museum in Sydney for the presentation of the Eureka Prizes. Awarded annually
since 1990, the prizes recognise outstanding contributions to science and the
public understanding of science.
Some highlights from this year’s ceremony were awards for one of the world’s
biggest wildlife monitoring programs, a rescue project for endangered orchids,
and research on how our bodies fight COVID-19. Also honoured were software for
sustainable energy and mining, a method for turning waste carbon dioxide into
useful molecular building blocks, and an open-source tool for linking DNA
sequences to the evolution of life.
In a statement, Australian Museum chief executive Kim McKay said:
As the world faces unprecedented challenges such as accelerating climate
change, Australian scientists continue to lead, innovate and inspire.
Scientific knowledge and innovation is key to progress. Researchers and
scientists help us understand how our universe works and how we can protect
it."
