Congratulation to RSC's Dr. Christoph Nitsche on recieving the John Wade Early Career Researcher Award at the Solid Phase Symposium 2022. This competitive award is presented every two years by the Australian Peptide Association at the Modern Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis Symposium and is currently sponsored/supported by CSIRO publishing.

Foreign Member, Academia Europaea

Congratulations to Professor Michelle Coote on being awarded the RACI Physical Division Medal in 2019.

The Physical Chemistry Division was established in 1974 after several successful events that brought together physical chemists nationally. To date, the Division continues to serve all those teaching and researching in physical chemistry and supports equity, diversity and inclusion in all divisional activities.

Congratulations to Dr Jamie Hicks on being awarded the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.

The DECRA scheme is a separate element of the Discovery Program. The DECRA scheme provides focused research support for early career researchers in both teaching and research, and research-only positions

Congratulations to Dr Jamie Hicks on being awarded the AINSE Early Career Research Grant. The Early Career Researcher Grant consists of a A$10,000 payment given to persons in the first five years of their postdoctoral research career. The grant can be spent on travel, accommodation, consumables and carer requirements, subject to AINSE discretion.

Congratulations to Dr. Nick Cox on being awarded The International Conference of Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (ICMRBS) Founders Medal. Dr. Cox is recognised for his achievement in developing and applying high-field EPR techniques to elucidate water splitting in oxidative photosynthesis and to the study of metal cofactors in metalloenzymes.

ICMRBS was co-founded by Oleg Jardetzky, Mildred Cohn, and Robert Shulman in 1964. The conference has been organized biannually over the past half century, and currently attracts between 800 and 1,000 scientists to a six-day scientific forum held at different locations across the world.

In 2002, the ICMRBS Council established the Founders' Medal to recognize exceptional contributions by young scientists to the development and/or progress of the field of magnetic resonance in biological systems.

Nominations are invited for this prestigious medal to be presented at the forthcoming XXIXth ICMRBS meeting, which will be held in Boston, MA, USA, August 23-28, 2020. The award winner will receive the Founders' Medal and $3,000 USD, and she/he will be invited to present a lecture at the above mentioned conference.
