Left to right: Professor Naomi McClure-Griffiths and Professor Ute Roessner AM A leading astrophysicist uncovering the deep inner secrets of the Milky Way and a renowned plant scientist tackling one of the greatest challenges facing the agriculture industry have both been newly elected as Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science for 2022. Professor Naomi McClure-Griffiths and Professor Ute Roessner AM from The Australian National University (ANU) have been recognised for their exceptional work advancing knowledge in their fields of science. They join 20 other newly elected Fellows to the Academy. Professor McClure-Griffiths' research seeks to understand the structure of gas and magnetic fields in the Milky Way, but also how our own galaxy and neighbouring ones in our Universe evolved. Professor McClure-Griffiths and team's research into interstellar gas and magnetic fields of the Milky Way led to the discovery of detailed atlases of atomic hydrogen gas in our galaxy, providing a foundation to help astronomers and astrophysicists around the world answer some of the biggest mysteries of our Universe. "It's a tremendous honour to be joining the Academy, whose Fellowship includes some of the most amazing scientists in the country," Professor McClure-Griffiths said. "The Academy has an important role to play in the promotion of science within Australia and I'm excited to be a part of that." Professor Ute Roessner joined ANU in March 2022 after moving from the University of Melbourne, where she was head of the School of BioSciences.
