Prof. Andrew Knight was awarded Principal Fellowship of Advance HE. He was also named the 2020 Griffith University Outstanding Alumnus winner for its Sciences Group, and appointed Adjunct Professor in its School of Environment and Science. Griffith is Australia’s ninth largest higher education provider, and has consistently been ranked within the top 5% of universities worldwide. Prof. Knight was awarded his PhD by Griffith in 2010. Prof. Knight’s BA AWS module ‘Animals and Alternatives Within Research and Education’ was short-listed for the Lush Prize 2020 – Training category. This is the biggest international prize covering 3Rs methods, and is worth £250,000 across five categories. Regrettably, second place is worth £0, but we were very honoured, nevertheless.
