scientists.
He said in a statement that the fellowships, which

exceptional promise and proven ability for original
research, provided for two years of full-time research
in the physical and biological sciences at an Australian
University or approved research institution.
The awards had been made to:
Dr Robert Adler, a research scientist at the CSIRO
division of mathematics and statistics in Sydney,
who would carry out investigations into probabili-
ty and stochastic processes at the University of
New South Wales.
Dr Jeremy Burdon, a post-doctoral fellow at the
University College of Wales, who would conduct
research in the area of population biology of
plants at the CSIRO division of plant industry
in Canberra.
Dr Alan Carey, a post-doctoral fellow at the Univer-
sity of Adelaide, who would use advanced algebra
methods to investigate quantum field theory at
the University of Adelaide.
Dr David Day, a post-doctoral fellow at the University

thetic carbon metabolism of plants at the CSIRO
division of plant industry in Canberra.
Dr Max Lohe, a post-doctoral fellow at Imperial

would carry out research in the field of elemen-
tary particle physics at the University of
Adelaide.
Dr Peter Molloy, a post-doctoral fellow at Yale
