“The newly-elected Fellows have made outstanding contributions to knowledge in their fields and across disciplinary boundaries.

On behalf of the Academy and Society, I heartily congratulate all the new Fellows. The election process is rigorous and new Fellows can be rightfully proud that their outstanding achievements have been recognised by their peers in this way.” PROFESSOR CHARLOTTE MACDONALD FRSNZ, ACADEMY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIR
