Our pilot program will assist four Victorian, science-qualified migrants to tell their migration story while developing a science show that is both engaging and suitable for Victorian schools. We will train you to deliver it, and then help market it to schools through Cultural Infusion’s Schools Program.
The Royal Society of Victoria is delighted to congratulate Professor Lloyd Hollenberg, this year’s winner of the prestigious RSV Medal for Excellence in Scientific Research, the highest award the Society bestows on research-active Victorian scientists.
