Female scientists receive recognition

Two female University of Auckland researchers were awarded top honours from the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Health Research Council of New Zealand.



Callaghan Medal winner Dr Michelle Dickinson and Pickering Medal winner Professor Margaret Hyland speak about their role in the field of science.

Both women are passionate about the work they do and the contribution that women can make in this area. It is wonderful to see these women being recognized and honoured.
