Gus Nossal reflects and launches a new research chair
Gus Nossal, from his hospital bed, announces funding a new professorial chair at the WEHI, the famed Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne. Gus, a great friend of The Science Show and the ABC Science Unit, is nearly 94 and ailing, but he is keen to assure scientifically-minded young people that research is still an exciting prospect despite its vanishingly low profile during the election. Sir Gus has now funded a fresh line of research at the lab he once led.
