Just got back from a gala dinner at the Carlton Crest ballroom for the 2006 Queensland Young Achiever Awards, where I was lucky enough to get the Science and Technology Young Achiever Award. Thanks must go to my supervisor Dr Gordon Wyeth for taking me on in the first place for my PhD as well as for being one of my referees. Thanks also to Dean Lane who was my other referee and Terese for nominating me in the first place. And thank you ITEE, UQ, and the ARC for providing me with the resources and support to really get stuck into my research over the past three and a half years.
The environment, career achievement, sporting, science and technology, community service, arts, and regional winners. The lady second from the left has sold 43 million dollars of real-estate in the past year and is only 23. The lady immediately to the left of me (picture left) is a gold medallist from the Athens Olympics and the current world record holder in the 200m butterfly, at the age of 19!
