Misty Jenkins leads her own immunotherapy lab searching for a cure for cancer at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.
She was the first Indigenous Australian to attend Oxford and Cambridge Universities as a postdoctoral research fellow. She’s worked with Nobel Laureates and has a PhD in microbiology and immunology.
But aside from all her research success, Misty’s also an advocate and role model for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, who she hopes to inspire into ...STEM careers.
STEM has always been a part of Misty’s world, even before she’d heard of it.

Do you know the next Australian of the year?
Fortunately, someone recognised Dion’s efforts to make a positive impact – not only on his community but also on the cultural health of the whole country – and nominated him for the prestigious award.
Now it is once again time to nominate. These Awards recognise Australians who are great at what they do, are contributing to Australian society and inspiring those around them. They could be quiet achievers, community members, leaders... in their field of work, household names or unknown heroes. Unless you nominate them though, they may never get the recognition they deserve. It only takes one nomination to be in the running for one of the four Australian of the Year Awards and it could come from a friend, family member or even a stranger.
Nominations for 2019 Australian of the Year Awards close at midnight on 31st July 2018. So visit australianoftheyear.org.au and nominate today.

WHEN Ben Isaacs and Ryan Fraser heard about the opportunity to join mining giant Peabody as indigenous trainees, they jumped at the chance.
The pair, who are now well progressed in their traineeships, are part of Peabody's Traditional Owner trainee cohort which will celebrate a 100 per cent retention rate as part of NAIDOC Week.
Based at the company's Moorvale mine near Moranbah, Mr Isaacs and Mr Fraser will transition to full-time operators later this year as the resource sector celebrates a 250 per cent increase in indigenous employment since 2006.
