Cover: Australia Post 2002 “Australian Legends” Stamps:
Not so long ago Australian medical scientists were part of the silent majority. Their exploits received widespread publicity only with outstanding achievements such as receiving the Nobel Prize. Australian icons and legends then were the Anzacs, our Olympians, footballers and cricketers. Not any more. Healthcare issues and medical research are now hot items in our tabloids, magazines and radio or television programs and science is hailed as the economic saviour of our country. Australia Post has celebrated this newfound status in its “Australian Legends” series stamps. The medical scientist Legends include:
Professor Peter Doherty, co-winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for research into mechanisms of auto-immunity and transplant rejection.
Professor Donald Metcalf, who discovered white-cell growth factors and whose research, spanning over 35 years, translated these discoveries into clinical practice.
Professor Nancy Millis, whose research achieved breakthroughs in industrial microbiology and fermentation technology and who oversaw the introduction of genetic engineering into Australia.
Professor Emeritus Sir Gustav Nossal, whose scientific influence has helped shape health in Australia and the world.
Professor Fiona Stanley, who has been responsible for improving child health, particularly in our Indigenous communities, and through research into spina bifida and cerebral palsy.
