Australia’s top female doctors and scientists changing the world

Daily Telegraph

Australia is a science powerhouse – for a relatively small nation, we can lay claim to having invented the world’s first cervical cancer vaccine and spray-on-skin for burns victims.

But in five, 10 and even 20 years’ time, where will our lab-coat legends take us? Specifically our female ones. Hayley Goddard profiles 25 of the best, on the cusp of cancer, heart disease, epilepsy and stillbirth breakthroughs.

Superstars of STEM 2023-2024 Program Launch

Presenting my research to the Hon. Ed Husic (Minister for Industry and Science) and program partners such as Google and the MARCS Institute.

The Superstars of STEM program is a game-changing Australian initiative to smash gender assumptions about who can work in science, technology, engineering and maths. The competitive program equips brilliant diverse STEM experts with advanced communication skills and opportunities - in the media, on stage and in schools. The result: we’re growing a critical mass of more diverse scientists appearing regularly in the Australian media to inspire our next generations of young Australians into STEM study and careers.
