Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you all had a chance to wear something purple in support of Girls and Women in STEM. Above you can see a great selection of colleagues recognising the International Day. For my part, I revelled in the chance to wear my purple t-shirt and jeans to the opening of ANU Council on Friday. By all accounts Council members were impressed with the outlook of our level 4 meeting room.
My sincere gratitude to all those stepping into the new term of teaching. As numbers firm up it looks like it will be a record year for first year students.
Finally, I’m delighted to disclose that the bat found napping on one of the historic carpets given to Australia on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Australia in 1972 has been safely relocated by Wild Care Australia (see below, thanks and credit to Graeme Cornish). For those amateur naturalists like me, you’ll be pleased to know this was identified as Gould’s Wattled Bat.
Have a good week.

Windows 8.1 End Of Life
It is that time again. Windows 8.1 has now reached end of life and is no longer getting security updates from Microsoft. We need to work to remove all Windows 8.1 (and earlier) machines from our network, either through upgrading to Windows 10 or locking out the network ports.
If you know of any Windows 8.1 machines in the school please let us know at it.physics@anu.edu.au so that we can assist you with the process. |

Statistical Support For HDR Students
The academic year is getting under way, which is a good time to remind researchers across the University that the services of the Statistical Support Network are available to Masters and PhD students for their research projects. Statistical support is available for design of experiments and surveys, data management, exploratory data analysis, statistical modelling and data presentation.
Students and their supervisors are welcome to book an initial consultation with the SSN lead via this link. Consultations are free. Depending on the nature of the support required, students may be provided with links to relevant videos, text-based or web-based tutorials, or may be connected with SSN members in Colleges who have volunteered their time to advise research students.
If you have any queries about the Statistical Support Network or the services it provides, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at ssn@anu.edu.au. The network members look forward to collaborating with you on your projects! |
