Australia's oldest scientist, 102, given new office on Perth campus

Dr David Goodall will not have to work from home after Edith Cowan University backs down

A 102-year-old Perth man who is also Australia's oldest scientist will get to keep an office on campus after Edith Cowan University reversed a decision that would have forced him to work from home.

Dr David Goodall was told in August that he had been deemed a health risk due to him taking about 90 minutes and four to five public transport changes to travel to the university's northern suburban Joondalup campus.
