The Australian Academy of Science and the Australian Research Council (ARC) are convening a one-day workshop for potential applicants in the biological sciences in upcoming and future ARC Centres of Excellence rounds. Senior ARC executives and current Centre Directors will lead panel discussions and share insights on the application process, what it takes to prepare a winning bid, and on the strategic and practical considerations of establishing a centre.

Professor David St Clair Black AO FAA is the recipient of the 2017 David Craig Medal and Lecture and will be presenting a series of David Craig lectures across Australia.

At 101 years of age, Dr Maxwell Frank Cooper Day AO FAA was the Australian Academy of Science’s oldest living Fellow.

Elected to the Academy in 1956, Dr Day was an ecologist and entomologist who collaborated with Australian greats of both those disciplines, and whose scientific publications span 74 years. The last of his papers, on the biology of the Australian scribbly gum moth, was published when he was 97 years old.

Working in research today means working with data. Thus, early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) need a range of skills relating to research data science, including how to look after and use data that is core to their research.
