The QUT professor wins one of the Australian Academy of Science’s top honours

And quite right too! Professor Morawska was making the case that COVID 19 transmission is airborne when the orthodoxy was to wash your hands and scrub the groceries. And over-time her advice, based on decades of research, that ventilation is the best way to reduce the risk of transmission took hold.

QUT sets out a career of research achievements here – to which are added honours, like this – and new resources to get on with her work. Last July she became head of the new Australian Research Council Training Centre for Advanced Building Systems Against Airborne Infection Transmission and she is also a 2022 ARC Laureate Fellow.

CMM has “huzzahed!” Professor Morawska before (February 14 and July 14 2022) and expects to again.
