Yesterday we celebrated an important milestone - The 150th Anniversary of Science cooperation between our two nations (U.S.A. and New Zealand) connected through discovery and innovation, and I am proud to say that our Thermo Fisher Scientific legacy across both Australia and New Zealand has followed a similar path.
Through our various incarnations over the past 150 years, from Selby Scientific in Australia in 1863 and S A Smith in New Zealand in 1915, Thermo Fisher Scientific has had the privilege of serving science in Australia and New Zealand, and in doing so we have been able to realise our Mission of Enabling Our Customers To Make The World Healthier, Cleaner And Safer.
We were fortunate to be able to co-host this momentous occasion in Wellington New Zealand at the Residence of the U.S. Embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission, David Gehrenbeck, together with the Hon Judith Collins KC, New Zealand Attorney General and Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation (amongst a broader ministerial portfolio).
We hosted ~50 of New Zealand’s most influential members of the science community and we were also honoured to have Dame Carol Robinson DBE FRS FMedSci FRSE in our company - one of the world’s preeminent scientists, the former President of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a luminary in chemical biology - who joined us in person from the University of Oxford.
