2015 Eureka Prizes finalists announced

CSIRO's Dr Lisa Harvey-Smith has been named a finalist in this year's Australian Museum Eureka Prizes.

While her day job is ASKAP Project Scientist, Lisa is also a dynamic communicator bringing to life astronomy and its real-world impacts, particularly for girls and Indigenous Australian students. It is the strong engagement she fosters with schools, institutions and her audience that sets her outreach apart.

Presented annually by the Australian Museum, the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes reward excellence in the fields of research & innovation, leadership, science communication & journalism and school science.

Lisa is a finalist in the Science Communication and Journalism section.

Winners will be announced on 26 August 2015.
