The winners of the 2007 Peter Doherty Awards for Excellence in Science and Science Education attended a presentation ceremony at the Parliamentary Annexe in Brisbane on 22 August to receive their awards from Minister for Education and Training and Minister for the Arts, Rod Welford.
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, schools, and organisations demonstrating an outstanding and innovative contribution to science and science education in Queensland.
A panel of Queensland scientists and science educators selected this year's 40 winners, who receive over $140 000 in awards and scholarships to further their science studies or continue their programs that inspire students and educators in the field of science.
