ANZAAS Science Talk, Melbourne

All welcome, free, tell your friends! Free refreshments after the talk

Wednesday 19th August 2026, 6:30 pm

At Bio21 Institute, 30 Flemington Rd, near corner with Park Drive, Parkville

Professor Ian Gust AO

Fairfield Infectious Diseases Hospital

“Serendipity in Science”

Born in the lucky country and growing up in an era of peace, prosperity and expanding opportunities, I’ve been incredibly lucky.
Lucky in my mentors and choice of career, lucky to be involved in the birth of several new organisations and the response to some public health crises. This has led me to reflect on the nature of luck. Golfer Gary Player once remarked “the harder I practice, the luckier I get” – is there a similar recipe for the aspiring scientist?
Professor lan Gust is renowned for pioneering work in virology and the development of drugs and vaccines. He and collaborators were the first to isolate the hepatitis A virus and respiratory syncytial virus. He served as Australia’s Chief Medical and Scientific Adviser on AIDS from 1989 to 1992, and directed the National Hepatitis Reference Centre from 1979 to 1990. From 1985 to 1991, he was the inaugural director of the Burnet Institute, then research director at CSL. Post-retirement, he continues as consultant to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, UNICEF, and the World Bank.

Following his talk, Professor Gust will be presented with the 2026 ANZAAS Medal

Welcome to the ANZAAS Website

Almost every aspect of our life is touched by science. Without science our way of life would be almost unimaginable and sustainability of life in the future will be impossible. Despite this there is great public suspicion of science. Much of this is based on lack of understanding, but past failures of science to recognise public concerns about the nature and direction of progress contribute to distrust. The future is too important for such attitudes to continue. ANZAAS exists to promote dialogue and understanding between the public, science and government and to advance science and its utilisation for maximum benefit.
