Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social has a motion on notice in the Senate to stop #ANU job cuts. πŸ‘€

Will ANU Council act accordingly at their meeting tomorrow, or will they ram through job cuts whatever the damage to the University?

@nteunion.bsky.social is calling on ANU Council to stop the job cuts.

Deakin University - School of Medicine Project Listing You can select a course button below to filter the projects that are available to that course (i.e. clicking on the 'Hons' button will display only Honours projects). You can also use the 'Search' box to narrow the projects. The search term does not need to be exact (i.e. the search term 'med' would return 'medicine', 'paramedic' etc). You can also use the 'Sort' buttons located in the top row of the table to sort certain columns in either alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order.

Are you interested in #Uncertainty and #transplantation #ethics? Dominique Martin & me have a MPhil-PhD opportunity* to investigate on "Kidney specialists' decisions under uncertainty and in deceased vs living donor kidney transplants" *w/ .

My first wearable garment, that's not a scarf 😁. Neapolitan 🍨 inspired tshirt. I learned the hard way that wool from a frogged project works up and looks different than 'fresh' wool (in the white stripe). But after 20 years of not knitting, I didn't think I could even pull this off!!! #knit

It would be very easy to add a box to the the observation chart for parent/carer response to a question that elicits whether they feel the child is stable

If they are perceived to be deteriorating then that prompts timely senior review and closer observation
