Andrew Lawrence was admitted to the Order of Australia (OAM) for his services to microbiology.
Andrew has done so much for the discipline of microbiology over a sustained period of time – professionally, within his role in SA Pathology/IMVS/Women’s and Children’s Hospital and also personally through almost 40 years of committee service to the Australian Society for Microbiology (ASM) in SA and NT, including many roles, National conference chair, inaugural Tri-State, Branch officer, to name but a few. His involvement most recently was as a key player within the ‘B Part of it’ Men B vaccine study, a globally significant work.
Well done, Andrew; so very well deserved to receive recognition on the public stage.

Stephanie Lamont-Friedrich was announced as one of South Australia’s 40 Under 40, and awarded the Game Changer Award for ‘recognition of a person who has re-written the rules of business to challenge, inspire and spark significant change for her work in supporting girls and Women in STEMM and bridging the gap between Academia and Corporate. She is proud to represent KPMG Australia and the University of South who continue to support her work.
Steph has been an active member of the ASM SA-NT Branch committee for many years, including differing roles over time: student representative; social media content representative; and especially, as the coordinator of the Science Alive! exhibition for the past 4–5 years inclusive.
Science Alive! is the largest interface of its kind in the country between the ASM and the general public; see report by Dena Lyras in the 2018 issue of Microbiology Australia: https://www.publish.csiro.au/MA/pdf/MA18057. This event has been successfully run each year from 2018 onwards under the coordination of Stephanie. See https://womeninscienceaust.org/portfolio/stemm-profile-steph-lamont-friedrich/.
