The winners of the 2008 Peter Doherty Awards for Excellence in Science and Science Education were announced by the Minister for Education and Training and Minister for the Arts, Rod Welford MP on 20 August.

The Peter Doherty Awards were established as part of the 2003-2006 Spotlight on Science initiative and remain an integral part of the current Science Education Strategy 2006-2009. The Awards recognise students, teachers, support staff, and partner organisations demonstrating outstanding and innovative contributions to science and science education in Queensland.

A panel of Queensland scientists and science educators selected this year's 25 winners, who will share $85000 in awards and scholarships to further their science studies or continue their programs that inspire students and educators in the field of science.
