The Mollie Holman Award is among the highest academic honours that Monash University bestows, and marks the recipients as researchers of the highest order.
It was established in 1998 and is named after the late pioneering physiologist, Emeritus Professor Mollie Holman AO, in honour of her significant contributions to science and education. A pioneer in her field, Professor Holman's memory is preserved in these medals struck in her honour.
