Dr Elizabeth Blackburn (pictured), Australia’s only female Nobel Laureate and one of the 100 most influential people in the world (Time, 2007), will discuss what the ‘bio-future’ holds for human health when she delivers the Annual Hawke Lecture on 21 August.

For the first time the Annual Hawke Lecture will be conducted in conversation format with the ABC Science Show’s Robyn Williams.
