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

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

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.

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
