CSIRO's new Chief Executive,
Doug Hilton started in his new role last week,
and he has already squeezed in a visit to Parkes!
There is a long-standing tradition of photographing
visitors as they emerge through the access hatch
on to the surface of the 64m Dish, Murriyang,
and Doug was happy to oblige with another addition
to that gallery.
Doug is a molecular and cellular biologist and until
recently was the Director of the Walter and Eliza Hall
Institute of Medical Research.
Commenting on his appointment, Professor Hilton said: "CSIRO is a
unique national treasure, there to deliver science for the benefit of
the community. The intent of CSIRO and my personal values are
completely aligned, and I am looking forward to leading CSIRO as we
work to solve our nation's greatest challenges."
