Participants sought: Are you an ultra-runner?
The Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc) is currently conducting a study to investigate the psychological, cognitive and psychophysiological attributes of ultra-runners.
It is often said that the ability to run ultra-marathons (distances longer than 42.195km) is more a matter of mental rather than physical strength.
We are seeking:

14 November: World Diabetes Day
Professor Paul Zimmet spoke with Star2 about diabetes in context with WDD:
llness/2016/11/13/think-you-kn ow-the-complications-of-diabet es/
"If diabetes was a country, it would be the world’s third largest nation (by population) after China and India, says Monash University, Australia, professor of diabetes Professor Paul Zimmet. In 2015, China had an estimated population of around 1.37 billion people and India around 1.26 billion, followed by the United States with just over 320 million people. Meanwhile, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimated that there were 415 million people living with diabetes around the world in the same year."

White Ribbon survey Monash University respondents wanted
By Christina Mitchell
Many of you may be familiar with White Ribbon, the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end men’s violence against women and girls. Monash is proud to be one of the first Australian employers to be a White Ribbon accredited workplace, and to now be part of a pilot group applying for re-accreditation.
I am writing to [Monash University staff] to ask you to become involved in our collaboration with White Ribbon, by completing a 10-minute, White Ribbon survey. Your participation is a critical part of our re-accreditation process, and your responses will inform how we can remain a pioneer in achieving a zero tolerance to violence against women.
Further information on the campaign and the University’s commitment to a safe workplace for all staff can be found at our White Ribbon website: www.monash.edu/gender-equity/white-ribbon
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Kind regards,
Christina Mitchell
