Dr Alex Gentle
If I could get the PM to fund any scientific research, it would be research into why the eye becomes short sighted of course!
Professor Andrew Gleadow
When I was a student my greatest ambition was to go to the Moon. I managed the next best thing
by being fortunate enough to work on the lunar samples returned by the Apollo astronauts in the early
1970s.
Professor Ary Hoffman
The greatest lesson science has taught me is that scientific approaches can be used to develop
creative solutions to many problems facing humanity but you still need political solutions to
implement them!
Professor Geoff McFadden
...having the time to talk over a scientific mystery and how to solve it is a delightful part of our work.
Professor Carl Schiesser
...there are so many inspirational individuals who have helped shaped the world as we know it.
Nelson Mandella for sticking to his convictions...Lawrence Bragg...for receiving a Nobel Prize at the
age of 25! (Edwin Hubble was pretty cool too!).
