I have taken over the role as Chair of the National Committee for the Mathematical Sciences as of April this year. The outgoing Chair Professor Nalini Joshi has been responsible for a number of transformational initiatives, as brought about by her tireless advocacy for the role of the Mathematical Sciences in securing Australia's future, and her active addressing of the under-representation of women in our discipline. It's great to see that her efforts have been recognised by being a recipient of the 2015 Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence Award, begin named as one of the inaugural Knowledge Society and the Office of the Chief Scientist ‘Knowledge Nation 100' (‘STEM heroes” category), her appearance on Q&A, her recent address to the National Press Club, amongst other public honours.
