The STAR of the Oscars

24 September 2007
Nicknamed the 'Oscars of Science', the Australian Museum Eureka Prizes are Australia's premier science awards and one of this year's shining stars was Murdoch University.

Every partnership must be RELEVANT for all parties, irrespective of any power, status or financial differences. Partners need to continually revisit their initial goals and expectations, in order to ensure significance is maintained.

The Western Australian Museum
Dr Geoff Deacon, Assistant Curator Vertebrate Palaeontology at the Western Australian Museum, stands next to Diprotodon - a rhinoceros-sized member of the Australian megafauna that became extinct approximately 30,000 years ago. It was unearthed at Mardi Station, Debouley Creek in the Pilbara in 1992.

The Museum and the Future Fund are in partnership in Operation Leo, which is retrieving and conserving fossils of ancient megafauna from the Nullarbor Plain.
