The ANU is letting it be known that:

Professor Brian Schmidt and his team will continue their ground-breaking work with the help of a $1 million extension of his Australian Laureate Fellowship.

The substantial funding extension was announced by Senator Chris Evans this morning.

“This additional funding will allow Professor Schmidt to undertake world-class research while continuing his important role as a strong advocate of Australian science,” Senator Evans said.

It’s amazing what winning the Nobel Prize can do!
