The marvellous microbiologists behind our awards and orations
Microbiology Australia, Vol.46(4), pp.195-197

Abstract
Naming an award or an oration after someone is usually about celebrating a career and a contribution to a discipline or an institution. Since its formation in 1959 the Australian Society for Microbiology has played an important role in the careers of many Australian microbiologists who in turn, have advanced the discipline and played significant roles in building the society.
The following short summaries are about the microbiologists after whom our awards and orations have been named: Sydney Rubbo, Frank Fenner, David White, Nancy Millis, Lyn Gilbert, Jim Pittard and Cheryl Power. The authors were speakers in a recent History symposium that was part of the program of the ASM annual scientific meeting held in Adelaide in 2025. The summaries are in the order in which the awards were created.
