102 year old keeps office at university

Scientist David Goodall, 102, wins battle to keep office at Australian university

A 102-year-old scientist has won a battle to keep working on campus at an Australian university amid concerns his presence was a "safety risk".

Edith Cowan University, in Perth, had told ecologist David Goodall that he would have to work from home from 2017 as it was concerned about his "general wellbeing on campus".



Dr Goodall, who was born in London and received his PhD from Imperial College in 1941, has an unpaid position as an honorary research associate, but typically attends the campus at least four days a week to review academic papers and supervise doctoral students.

The journey to his office involves a 90-minute commute, including catching two buses and a train.

The university has not only renewed his position for three years, they have found him an office closer to his home.
