Professor John Long is a world-renowned palaeontologist, currently based at Flinders University. He researches the early stages of the modern vertebrate body plan from studying ancient fish fossils, and has collected fossils on expeditions throughout Australia, Antarctica and in many countries. Long has been the recipient of several major awards for popularising science through his books and writing and has featured in several documentary films and television features, including a profile by ‘Sixty Minutes’, Australia (2011). He was President of the world’s largest palaeontological society, the Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology (2014-2016). In February 2020 he was awarded the $50K Bettison & James Award from the Adelaide Film Festival for lifetime achievement in science and science communication work.
