Australasian mentoring awards

Over a hundred leading members of the Australasian scientific community attended a party to celebrate the inaugural Nature awards for scientific mentoring in Australia at the ScienceWorks Museum in Melbourne on Friday 1 December.

Tom Healy, a colloidal chemist at The University of Melbourne, won the lifetime achievement award, and Rachel Webster, an astrophysicist at the same institution, was the mid-career awardee. The response of the audience, as well as the very strong field of over 70 excellent nominated candidates, demonstrates the recognition the awards have quickly gained in Australia. See here for Nature's press release announcing these awards.

Information and news about the Nature mentoring awards can be seen at the journal's website, at http://www.nature.com/nature/nestaawards.
