Monash has created a new way for you to develop your employability skills online. It’s called Leap into Leadership Online (LiLO), and it’s made up of a suite of free online modules you can complete any time.
Hundreds of students have already completed the modules and given them great feedback – so make 2016 the year you become a leader.
After 18 months aboard the International Space Station a species of Fungi from Antarctica has survived Martian like conditions relatively intact.
At least 60% of the cryptoendolithic cells managed to survive the simulation and continued to exhibit stable DNA.
The fungi were kept in an environment of 95% CO2, 1.6% argon, 0.15% oxygen and 2.7% nitrogen at a pressure of 1,000 pascals. Samples were also exposed to harsh ultra violet radiation as they would be on the surface of Mars.
The simulation will help to provide answers on what biological life on Mars might look like and where it could be hiding.
Did you know that any integer with digits that add up to a number divisible by 3 is itself divisible by 3.
Give it a try, type any mess of numbers and tack on the last number to make the digits sum to a number divisible by 3.
For example:
42189012
4+2+1+8+9+0+1+2 = 27 (divisible by 3).
42189012 / 3 = 14 063 004 An integer!
How does this work?
Hi All,
Well I hope things are going well and you had time to attend the range of events as part of ‘Career Festival’ held at Monash.
Are you are busy preparing applications for ‘Graduate Programs’? Don’t forget you can book an appointment with me or one of the consultants in Career Connect for advice and feedback. Book your appointment here.
In this week’s edition of ‘Career Goat’ I would like to talk about ‘Leadership’.
Welcome Scapegoatians (yes, it’s not a word…until now)! The 2016 university semester has once again started up with a fantastic boom from Orientation and a less fantastic realisation that we have to wake up at normal times like normal people again – ugh.
We’d like to welcome all our new readers and subscribers, and hope you enjoy our content. If you haven’t already – subscribe to our weekly mail out in order to get the up-to-date notification of free food and exciting events happening at Monash.
For both new and returning students, now is a perfect time to get (re)acquainted with all the programs and extra services available to students studying science. Take a look at all the academic help that is available to you here. It’s always a good idea to get into a good study habit early on!
You may also have come across our new design at thescapegoat.com and had also glimpsed a few printed tabloid-style newspapers…Exciting things are coming along, so keep your eyes peeled!
Did you know that science have their very own Careers Education Consultant? We are the only faculty to have this. That consultant would be me ‘Lisa Happell’.
I have been in the role for nearly two years and really enjoy working with students to help them with their career decisions. Throughout the year I will run a range of career seminars and events and every week I have individual (30 minute) career appointments available
You will find me (usually with coffee) on Tuesdays to Thursday in the Science Student Lounge and Science Student Services. If you would like to talk about your career in science or if you have no idea about careers in science then please book an appointment with me via ‘Career Gateway’.
I look forward to meeting you to discuss all things ‘Career’.
Grad season is upon us. People are suiting up left, right and centre; careers expos cramming the calendar and students are frantically planning their career.
Fear not, though – there are resources to help.
Dear Tim,
Thank you so much for your question. It is really important to start thinking about your career now. It doesn’t need to be arduous task. I have a 15/5 rule so 15 minutes a day 5 days a week. There is a career model (SODI) that can be used as a tool to start with the 15/5.
Dear ScapeGoat Subscriber,
Thank you for your question above. As a careers consultant I have worked with many students, graduates and career changes who feel that they don’t have the relevant experience for the jobs they are interested in. However it is important not to feel discouraged by this fact. There a number of strategies that you can undertake to help you to overcome this problem.
