This article commemorates the 100\u2010year anniversary of the journal, <jats:italic>ICB<\/jats:italic>, by celebrating the remarkable career of Lush, a renowned bacteriologist who achieved unparalleled success in an era when women faced formidable barriers to tertiary education and scientific recognition. Graduating with a Master of Science from the University of Melbourne in 1934, Lush's ground\u2010breaking research in infectious diseases, conducted in collaboration with Frank Macfarlane Burnet AO at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI), played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of viruses, including influenza, herpes and myxomatosis. Lush's pivotal work on influenza provided the foundational evidence to develop the influenza vaccine, a cornerstone of global public health today. Similarly, her investigation of myxoma virus in rabbits, with its potential for pest control and ecological impact, was used to instruct creation of the world's first biological control program against a mammalian pest. Tragically, Dora Lush succumbed to scrub fever in 1943, a disease she contracted during a laboratory accident. Her unwavering commitment to science led her to offer her own blood for research as she battled the infection, exemplifying her dedication to advancing knowledge even in the face of personal adversity. Lush's legacy endures through scholarships and fellowships that bear her name in Australia, fostering the careers of aspiring scientists. Her ground\u2010breaking research and unwavering determination continue to inspire generations, reminding us of the importance of diversity in science and the enduring impact of pioneering women like Lush.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/imcb.12697","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T12:16:36Z","timestamp":1696335396000},"page":"911-915","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Science and sacrifice: the pioneering journey of Dora Lush"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Kerry","family":"Ko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research  Parkville VIC Australia"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biology The University of Melbourne  Parkville VIC Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica G","family":"Borger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research  Parkville VIC Australia"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biology The University of Melbourne  Parkville VIC Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","unstructured":"(WEHI) WEHI.Miss Dora Lush dies from an accidental needle prick injury while researching scrub typhus.https:\/\/www.wehi.edu.au\/about\/history\/dora\u2010lush\u2010career\/.
