My name is Eric C Wigglesworth. I hold the degrees of Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Doctor of Applied Science and the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Medicine.

My first doctorate was based on my first one hundred published papers, several of which related to a series of investigations into the causes of accidents at railway crossings in Victoria, carried out at the request of the Victorian Government.

I have edited 5 books, and have published more than 120 scientific papers in refereed journals, 16 of which relate to accidents at railway level crossings. The list is available on request.

In 1998, I was admitted to the Degree of Doctor of Medicine honoris causa by the University of Tasmania "in recognition of an outstanding contribution to improving the health and safety of Australians, and to raising professional standards in this area".

In the Australia Day, 2000 Honours list, I was appointed a Member in the Order of Australia (AM) for services to public health and to accident prevention.
