AQ - Australian Quarterly a long runing public affairs magazine which publishes articles that analyse political, economic, social, cultural and scientific issue vital for Australia.

Tall Poppy Campaign
The Tall Poppy Campaign was created in 1998 by the Australian Institute of Policy & Science to recognise and celebrate Australian scientific excellence and to encourage younger Australians to follow in the footsteps of our outstanding achievers.

The Tall Poppy Campaign recognises the achievements of Australian scientists through the prestigious annual Young Tall Poppy Science Awards and biennial Florey Medal.

The Campaign's Tall Poppies Reaching Students Program engages the winners of Young Tall Poppy Science Awards in activities to promote study and careers in science among school students and the broader community.
