The Ruby Payne-Scott Medal and Lecture for women in science is a distinguished career award that acknowledges outstanding Australian women researchers in the biological sciences or physical science. It is conferred by the Australian Academy of Science and is awarded to researchers who are normally resident in Australia and who conduct their research predominantly in Australia.[1]
This award, established in 2021, honours the contributions of Ruby Payne-Scott, particularly in the fields of radiophysics and radio astronomy.[2]
Recipients
| Year | Recipients | Contribution | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Cheryl Praeger | Mathematics | has made groundbreaking contributions to group theory and combinatorics. Her work centers on the mathematics of symmetry, particularly in the context of finite simple groups. Actively involved in gender diverse education in the mathematics fields. | [3][4] |
| 2022 | Liz Dennis | plant molecular biology | has made significant contributions to our understanding of plant development, vernalization-induced flowering, and increasing the yield of hybrid varieties. Her analysis of the basis of hybrid vigor has been exceptional in Arabidopsis and also in rice. She has wored to overcome the first-generation limitations for hybrids, and therefore ensuring continuous high food grain production. | [5][6] |
| 2023 | Jennifer Graves | Genetics | Researched the genetic diversity of Australian animals and introduced new theories on the origin and evolution of the human sex chromosomes and sex determination. | [7][8] |
| 2024 | Kerrie Mengersen | Statistics | [9][10] |
