Dr Vyt Garnys, who presented the awards on behalf of CETEC said, "It is inspiring to see such a wide range of advanced scientific research being presented by students at the early stages of their careers. CETEC is proud to be able to encourage excellence in applied science with both its primary school and undergraduate university prizes. Australia needs to get behind young Australians keen to create our future.

Congratulations to both David and Ellaine and the other prize winners.
