		Professor Frank Fenner was born in 1914 in Ballarat, Victoria.
		At the end of the fellowship, Fenner was at a loss as to future directions when he received a letter from Howard Florey, inviting him to become the first Professor of Bacteriology at the John Curtin School of Medical Research in Canberra, the chair he finally accepted was actually in microbiology at Fenner's suggestion.
		In 1997, Fenner became the Chairman of the Global Commission for the Certification of Smallpox Eradication, for the World Health Organisation and eventually stood in front of the UN General Assembly to make the announcement of the eradication of that disease (to date the only disease ever to be completely eradicated).

		Another Patron, Professor Frank Fenner, winner of last year's Prime Minister's Science Prize says we must proclaim to all that exponential growth, of either population or resource use, is unsustainable.
		Frank Fenner: One of my mentors, Rene Dubos, invented the phrase "Think globally, act locally." 2003 is a landmark year, for Australia has now reached a population, 20 million, which may be sustainable.
		Whether it will be depends on what happens here and in the rest of the world, for if the growth fetish, as Clive Hamilton calls it, persists in the wealthy countries like Australia and the United States, we are likely to be overwhelmed by environmental refugees from south and south east Asia.

		I will then discuss live virus vaccines, for most of these are produced by the genetic manipulation of virulent viruses, and finally describe recombinant vaccinia virus vaccines, which are currently being considered for use in human and veterinary medicine, and thus for widespread and large-scale introduction into the environment.
		Cowpox virus, which is thought to be the virus used by Jenner in 1796 to protect children against smallpox, was for a long time recognized only as a disease of cows and persons who milked cows.
		It is quite clear that it does not survive in nature as a disease of any of these hosts; since recurrent infectivity does not occur, infection is followed by lifelong immunity, and all of these animals have slow population turnover times.
