The ACT Branch is excited to announce that Dr Vanessa Robertson form DFAT is the winner of the 2024 Lesli Findlay Award. We look forward to presenting her award at the upcoming IUPAC Women's Breakfast.
Vanessa has worked tirelessly to preserve Australia's chemical safety and regulation, to ensure the support of chemical research and applications. She has also initiated and established connections between RACI mentoring and relevant public service departments. This has significantly broadened chemistry career pathways and improved the availability of chemical expertise to provide informed advice to policy makers. This award is a testament to her talent and commitment to the chemistry profession.
