May Director's message

May Director’s message

I am writing this month’s CEAT Director’s message from home where - like 200,000 other people across Australia - I have been in COVID isolation for the past week.  The mild nature of my COVID symptoms is a testament to the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines developed at unprecedented speed by researchers in 2020.  Previously, new vaccines took a decade or more to be developed and authorised for broadscale use.  While many factors contributed to the accelerated development of different vaccine options, core to them all were decades of investment into fundamental, blue-skies research.
