Jennifer Lee Stauber FAA FTSE (known as Jenny Stauber) is an Australian ecotoxicologist and chief research scientist at the CSIRO Land and Water.
Stauber graduated from the University of Sydney in 1979 with a BSc in biochemistry and microbiology [1] and MSc for her thesis titled "Photosynthetic pigments in marine diatoms" in 1984. [2] In 1996 she completed a PhD titled "Toxicity of Metals in Biological Systems" at the University of Tasmania. [3]
Stauber joined CSIRO Fisheries and Oceanography as a research scientist in 1979, moving to CSIRO Energy Chemistry in 1983 in the same role. In 2006 she transferred to CSIRO Land and Water where she was promoted to deputy chief in 2008. [1]
In 2015 Stauber was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (FTSE) [4] and in 2020 Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. [5] [6] She was awarded CSIRO's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018 in recognition of her "exceptional science leadership and landmark research on the bioavailability and toxicity of metals underpinning the national water and sediment quality guidelines for environmental protection in Australia and globally".

Marshall (Hal) Davidson Hatch AM (born 24 December 1932) was an Australian biochemist and plant physiologist. He was the Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO Division of Plant Industry in Canberra. He is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of Science and was awarded Honorary Doctorates from the University of Göttingen and the University of Queensland. In Australia, in 1966, he elucidated, jointly with Charles Roger Slack, the C4 pathway for the fixation of carbon, which is also sometimes known as the Hatch-Slack pathway. He is now retired.
Robert John Raven is an Australian arachnologist, being the Head of Terrestrial Biodiversity and the Senior Curator (Arachnida) at the Queensland Museum. Dr Raven has described many species of spider in Australia and elsewhere, and is spider bite consultant to the Royal Brisbane Hospital, leading to much work on spider toxins.
Raphidocelis subcapitata, formerly known as Selenastrum capricornutum and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata is a microalga. This microalga presents a curved and twisted appearance like a sickle. The cells are normally presented in a solitary form. It has a length between 8 and 14 μm, and a width between 2 and 3 μm. It is commonly used as a bioindicator species to assess the levels of nutrients or toxic substances in freshwater environments. This species is quite sensitive to the presence of toxic substances including metals and has a ubiquitous distribution, so is broadly used in ecotoxicology. This species has been found to be more competitive than Chara vulgaris at low sodium chloride concentrations, but C. vulgaris was more competitive under salt stress.
Elizabeth Salisbury Dennis is an Australian scientist working mainly in the area of plant molecular biology. She is currently a chief scientist at the plant division of CSIRO Canberra. She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) in 1987, and the Australian Academy of Science in 1995. She jointly received the inaugural Prime Minister's Science Prize together with Professor Jim Peacock in 2000 for her outstanding achievements in science and technology.
Shirley Winifred Jeffrey was an Australian marine biologist and naturalist, who researched biochemical separation techniques, specialising in micro-algal research; her discovery, isolation and purification of chlorophyll c allowed for the evaluation of oceanic microscopic plant biomass and photosynthesis. She was christened The Mother of chlorophyll c by one of her early mentors, Professor Andy Benson of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego.
The ABRElizabeth Jolley Short Story Prize is an annual short fiction competition run by the Australian Book Review. The Prize, with total prize money of AU$12,500 and 'generating over a thousand new stories each year', is 'hotly contested' and considered 'one of Australia’s most lucrative prizes for an original short story' on the Australian literary calendar.
Professor Helene Denise Marsh is an Australian scientist who has provided research in the field of Environmental Science, more specifically Zoology and Ecology. The focal point of her research has been the biology of dugongs, with particular foci in the areas of population ecology, history, reproduction, diet, and movements. She is the Dean of Graduate Research Studies and the Professor of Environmental Science at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia, and also a Distinguished Professor in the College of Marine and Environmental Science. Marsh is also a program leader for the Marine and Tropical Research Science Facility. In 2015 she was elected a Fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science (FAA), and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE). She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2021 Australia Day Honours.
