Menzies scholarships open doors Every year the Menzies Foundation inspires and nurtures Australia’s future leaders to take the next step in their careers, by providing access to Australia’s leading postgraduate scholarships. The Foundation supports prestigious postgraduate scholarships and fellowships in medical and allied health research, engineering and law as well as Menzies Scholarships to Harvard in wide range of disciplines. Why does the Menzies Foundation support scholarships? Before he became Australia’s longest-serving prime minister, Robert Gordon Menzies spent his childhood in the small town of Jeparit in rural Victoria. From the age of 13 he secured scholarships to complete his secondary and tertiary education in Melbourne. He went on to an outstanding life of public service in law, politics and national leadership. His extraordinary story exemplifies the transformative power of education. It has been the inspiration for the Menzies Foundation in supporting more than 200 talented young Australians with Menzies scholarships and fellowships. Many Menzies scholars are now leaders in their fields, just like the 2006 NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellow, Dr Nick Huntington. The NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellowship The NHMRC/RG Menzies Fellowship provides for advanced training in health and medical research for two years overseas and a further two years in Australia.

Request for Formal Retraction of Infamous Australian Paradox Paper
Rory Robertson 20 April 2016 Request for formal retraction of infamous Australian Paradox paper Dear members of the Senior Executive Group of the University of Sydney, and outside observers, I'm sorry to have to write to many of you again about the Charles Perkins Centre's Australian Paradox scandal. I will try to be brief, providing the relevant history and a four-point argument for the formal retraction of the infamous paper: http://sydney.academia.edu/AlanBarclay ; http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/OriginalAustralianParadoxPaper.pdf For starters, note that an ABC Lateline report last week confirmed my assessment that the paper is extraordinarily faulty, has false conclusions and works to damage public health: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2015/s4442720.htm As I explained in 2014 to the Academic Board - which did not reply - Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) Professor Jill Trewhella's "Initial Inquiry" into this matter was an epic fail, with the Initial Inquiry Report wrong on five of its seven "Preliminary Findings of Fact": http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/Letter-Academic-Board-Inquiry-Report.pdf Disturbingly, Professor Trewhella and her hand-picked independent investigator Professor Robert Clark AO combined to blatantly "bury" the fact that the Australian Paradox paper features a faked, falsified, made-up flat line. Call it whatever you like, but please check out Figure 6 (p.5 below). The suppression of the fake-data issue is “PROBLEM 1” in my response to the mistake-riddled Initial Inquiry Report: http://www.australianparadox.com/pdf/RR-response-to-inquiry-report.pdf Further, Professor Trewhella and Professor Clark combined "not to notice" that the authors’ own published charts of valid indicators - reproduced on the next three pages - spectacularly contradict the author’s mistaken claim of "a significant and substantial decline" in the consumption of added sugar over their chosen 1980-2010 timeframe.

Charles Perkins Centre Engagement with Industry Guidelines
CHARLES PERKINS CENTRE Engagement with industry guidelines 1 The Charles Perkins Centre’s (CPC) mission is to ease the burden of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease by translating research into improved health outcomes for individuals, communities and populations, both nationally and internationally. 2 Engagement with industry is appropriate and necessary to achieve the CPC mission. Industries relevant to the CPC research strategy include, among others, the food, dietary supplement and physical activity sectors, the pharmaceutical industry, technology and medical devices, urban design and development, health and medical insurance, and health service providers. Collectively, each of these industries’ goods and services are consumed daily by billions of citizens. Solutions to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease will be highly relevant to the future of these industries, and their strategic engagement with researchers and educators will be important in progressing toward these solutions. Government and government agencies are not included under these guidelines. 3 The CPC will actively seek to engage with industry in support of its mission. Types of engagement with industry might include: Donations or sponsorship of CPC activities (research, educational, clinical, translational) Direct funding or in-kind support of CPC research projects Joint programs of research on specific basic, clinical or translational research issues Consultancy (paid or unpaid) Knowledge mobility through secondments to and from industry under

World First Charles Perkins Centre Officially Opens
13 June 2014 World first Charles Perkins Centre officially opens Sydney Local Health District welcomed the latest addition to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital precinct last week when the University of Sydney celebrated the official opening of the Charles Perkins Centre research and education hub. The launch events featured performances by the Ltyentye Apurte Santa Teresa Aboriginal men’s dance group and singer Megan Washington. While teaching has been conducted at the $385 million research and education hub for most of this year, the launch was an opportunity to celebrate one of the University of Sydney’s most ambitious projects to date, and to thank the generous donors, clinicians and people who have made it possible. Ltyentye Apurte Santa Teresa Aboriginal men’s dance group performing at the Charles Perkins Centre official opening. A $3 million donation from prominent University supporters Judith and David Coffey, to support early career researchers at the centre’s Life Lab and Integrative Systems Laboratory, was also announced at the launch. The generous gift brings the donation amount for the centre to more than $58 million. "We are immensely excited to launch the Charles Perkins Centre research and education hub, which will play home to an initiative that is already changing the way we think about some of the most destructive health issues in the world," said Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sydney, Dr Michael Spence. "The Charles Perkins Centre represents a completely new way of conducting research. The breadth and depth of multidisciplinary research conducted by the centre is unparalleled both in Australia and internationally." The centre features an advanced clinical research facility, operated in conjunction with the Sydney Local Health District, used to treat patients, test new models of clinical care, and conduct research trials, with a metabolic kitchen, overnight stay rooms, gym equipment, and associated clinical facilities.

Bill Trait Variation in Kākāpō, Strigops Habroptilus (Gray): Differences Between Contemporary and Historical Birds
1 Notornis, 2017, Vol. 64: 1-12 0029-4470 © The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc. Bill trait variation in kākāpō, Strigops habroptilus (Gray): differences between contemporary and historical birds LINDSEY J. GRAY School of Life and Environmental Sciences, Charles Perkins Centre, and Macleay Museum, Macleay Building (A12), Science Road, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2006 ANDREW DIGBY DARYL K. EASON Kākāpō / Takahē Recovery Programme, Department of Conservation, P.O. Box 734, Invercargill 9840, New Zealand Abstract Museum study-skins are an important though under-utilised resource for studying the biology of endangered birds. This study compares the bill and cere morphology of female and male kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) from three provenances: 1) “historical wild-origin” museum specimens collected from the North and South islands of New Zealand over 100 years ago; 2) the “modern wild-origin”, predominantly ex-Stewart Island Kākāpō Recovery Programme (KRP) founder population; and 3) the “modern non-wild” descendants of the founder population raised and maintained under the conservation management of the KRP. Bill length and gape was found to be smaller in the historical wild-origin birds than in the two contemporary groups. In comparison, historical wild-origin male kākāpō had larger ceres than both contemporary groups. As bird bills can show rapid morphological adjustment to diet over generational time scales, we evaluate whether bill size differences measured could be due to differences in the nutritional environments experienced by the birds either across their life-times or over recent evolutionary time. We also discuss whether regional variation in sexual selection might account for the provenance related variation in cere size.
