The Australian Academy of Science celebrates emerging talent through its prestigious annual Honorific Awards. Bohdee's mission is to profile each recipient, translating complex scientific achievements into accessible stories that highlight both their groundbreaking work and broader societal impact.

In this video, we meet the Garvan Institute's Dr Ira Deveson, whose expertise spans clinical genomics, biotechnology development and bioinformatics. As leader of Garvan's Genomic Technologies research lab, Dr Deveson focuses on pioneering applications of long-read sequencing in clinical genomics.

Our production captures the essence of why these Honorific Awards matter—they recognise the brilliant minds like Dr Deveson who are shaping Australia's scientific future.
