Who's more likely to complain than Reviewer 2??
Been working on this little project, Patrick William, for some months & he arrived on 16/05/2022. Just 2.743kg and we are all doing well.
I'll be spending my 1.0FTE (and overtime) with him until Jan 2023.🤱🏻❤️🐣

I work in higher education, with a PhD in medical education. In Australia (amongst many countries) one can qualify as a medical doctor with an undergraduate degree, which is what I did first, so I'm two kinds of doctor!
Everyone deserves the titles they have earned.

We've been so lucky to have
@r_ajjawi
as part of the team and I have benefited immensely from her wisdom and mentorship. Can't believe it was so long ago we landed at Deakin together! The end of a wonderful era. Will miss you 😢 though we still have many projects on the boil!

Just cooked up the next grant with
@phillipdawson
. It will be titled "human-machine interface learning for open-ended physical sorting problems in four dimensions". We'd like to see if we can train people to stack and operate workplace dishwashers.

Since the old kettle has a non-fatal malfunction (lid won't open but still boils) and it's my birthday today, I thought it would be appropriate to welcome a new kettle to the house. How much longer do I have to work from home before I can claim this as a work expense?
