New Aluminations issue

In this latest issue of the Alumni newsletter, the President, Garry Warne, writes about the impending regime changes as he and other committee members step down, and provides the results of the recent member survey. He muses about closer relationships with both the MSA, and management and current hospital staff.

Also in this issue:

  • Amy Gray reflects on the privilege and perspective her role as Stevenson Chair of Paediatrics has brought, from reconnecting with alumni and honouring the campus's history, to highlighting the value of connection, reflection and shared stories across the campus.
  • Julian Kelly ponders recent upheavals and changes at the hospital, urging stronger ties between the MSA and the Alumni to draw on their shared wisdom, preserve institutional memory, and reaffirm medicine as a lifelong vocation grounded in learning and service.
  • Gigi Williams recounts her visit to Carnevale in Venice, providing a recap of its history, and describing how unnerving, yet liberating, it was being in costume on the wrong side of the camera.
  • Bev Touzel and Garry Warne describe the impact of treasured books and poetry on their lives, how it's brought pleasure, assuaged grief, and helped in learning about the lives of others.
  • Kevin Collins laments the loss of four months of his life, thanks to a request by Trevor Duke, as he prepared the final Grand Round presented at the old hospital campus in 2011.
  • Christine Rodda congratulates Roger Allen and Phil Bergman on their recent awards.

Nikon's Small World competition: see the winning images

Nikon's Small World is regarded as the leading forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope.

The Photomicrography Competition is open to anyone with an interest in microscopy and photography. See this year's winners.

A separate video competition, entitled Small World In Motion, encompasses any movie or digital time-lapse photography taken through the microscope.

The competition first began in 1975 as a means to recognize and applaud the efforts of those involved with photography through the light microscope. Since then, Small World has become a leading showcase for photomicrographers from the widest array of scientific disciplines.

Report: The State of Australia's Children 2025

This report combines the latest publicly available data with the firsthand perspectives of Australia's children and young people. Using the Australian Children's Wellbeing Index, the report:

  • Explores wellbeing outcomes for children across six domains
  • Identifies the megatrends shaping the future of today's kids
  • Outlines the next steps for government to ensure all children thrive.

While many Australian children and young people are getting the support they need, many are falling behind. This report is a call to action to address these gaps and make children a national priority so every child in Australia gets the best possible start in life. Let's turn evidence into action to create a brighter future for every child in Australia.
