I really see this working at a uni that attracts students who should be on Youth Allowance - yet the number of students who are is tiny.

My generation (uni early 2000s) and older look back fondly on uni days but I am not sure this generation will

Time for a bit of an introduction.

I am an Associate Professor at Murdoch University in the School of Allied Health. I mostly research sports injury prevention and look after learning and teaching for the school as the Associate Dean.

Here's a quick supercut of my research greatest hits

Continuous blood flow restriction during repeated‐sprint exercise increases peripheral but not systemic physiological and perceptual demands This study examined the impact of continuous blood flow restriction (BFR) during repeated-sprint exercise (RSE) on acute performance, peripheral, systemic physiological, and perceptual responses.
