Nobel Laureate Professor Barry Marshall
“Traditionally thought of as one of the world’s most isolated cities, Perth’s time zone is truly one of its greatest assets in a digitised world.
It enables Western Australia’s innovative scientists and researchers to communicate with their counterparts throughout the zone with ease, sharing information and building collective knowledge across national boundaries for the benefit of the global community.”
Internationally-renowned alumni participated in the development of In The Zone 2009.
They championed a strong and relevant program to stimulate informed debate about the key issues facing the world today.
