[ASA] Congratulations to new astronomers elected to Fellowship of the Academy

[John Lattanzio]

Dear ASA Members
   I am pleased to inform you that two ASA members have been elected to
Fellowship of the Academy of Science.

Professor Matthew Bailes <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/_JefCROND2urQv3wNF9QwkL?domain=science.org.au>

The Academy's citation reads: *Matthew Bailes is an astrophysicist who has
specialised in the study of pulsars, transient radio bursts and
gravitation, making major contributions to establishing Australia’s high
international profile in these areas. In particular, he has played a
pivotal role in the development of a new branch of astrophysics, Fast Radio
Bursts, guiding projects that led to Australia’s dominance of the field. He
established the Swinburne University Centre for Astrophysics and
Supercomputing, recognised internationally as a centre for astrophysics and
virtual-reality content for public outreach.*

Professor Naomi McClure-Griffiths
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/me0tCVARKgClXxpVMCzTC-m?domain=science.org.au>
The Academy's citation reads: *Naomi McClure-Griffiths is Australia's
pre-eminent expert on the atomic hydrogen gas distribution and evolution in
our galaxy, the Milky Way, and its neighbours, the Magellanic Clouds. She
has made seminal contributions to our understanding of atomic gas and
magnetism within these galaxies through leadership of high-fidelity
observational surveys undertaken with Australia's radio telescope
facilities. Her work includes the discovery of a new spiral arm within the
Milky Way, the first detection of neutral gas out-flowing from the nucleus
of the Milky Way, and the pioneering demonstration of the importance of
magnetic fields in the flow of matter into the Galactic disk.*

Please join me in congratulating Matthew and Naomi!
