I am deeply saddened by the loss of Prof Alan Robson-a great teacher, agric scientist, leader, vice chancellor, and humble human being. Alan has made a huge impact in Australian & international higher education. I have known Alan for over 42 years. Will miss him dearly. RIP

Today we honour the life and legacy of Professor Alan Robson: a generous leader, brilliant agricultural scientist, and former VC of #UWA. He was a great friend to & supporter of @IOA_UWA, and his passing marks a profound loss for many. Read more below. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
