Alan Finkel: Australia’s Chief Scientist 2016-2020 by Kim Doherty
As Australia’s former Chief Scientist, our country turned to Professor Alan Finkel for advice on everything from the climate, to AI, to the pandemic. But at a time when scientists have never been so important, Alan nearly didn’t become one at all. Growing up in Melbourne as the son of immigrants who fled the Holocaust, Alan had to find the courage to make his own choices –even when they weren’t quite what his family had in mind. Alan’s story is one of being brave, loving your family and always aiming for excellence.
