Congratulations to Prof Steven Chown! 👏👏👏
The @Science_Academy has awarded Steven the Suzanne Corey Medal as part of their annual Honorific Awards.
As a young student, Prof Steven Chown FAA @MonashUni paused his undergraduate ecology studies for 6 months to gain experience in Antarctica. The trip changed him forever and his career shift has now benefitted us all.

This week, 450 polar scientists from across Australia gathered at the Australian Antarctic Research Conference.
They discussed the urgent climate-related challenges the region is facing and how Antarctic science is vital for shaping policy efforts to safeguard our future.

While there were many highlights, a big one for SAEF was @Antarcticmoss's seminar: Collaboration, Ambition, Diversity and Community - core values of Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future program.
Shout out to @kingdiana21, who couldn't be there to present this!

New research shows most birds are a bit basic.
But some stand out from the flock🦚, and many reside in the #Antarctic! 🐧
@SaxbeeAffleck explains why Antarctic birds matter worldwide.
