Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
Jul 05, 2021 6:30 pm
“Motor neurone disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative disease which currently has no known cure and usually leads to death due to muscle weakness and respiratory failure within 2-5 years from onset of symptoms. Diagnosis can take one year to be confirmed as there are no definitive tests for MND. Early diagnosis and early treatment would give the best chance of preventing irreversible damage to the nervous system. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scan is a non-invasive technique to investigate human brain changes in vivo. My PhD aims to use advanced MRI techniques to investigate how these changes might progress from early to later stages in the limb onset form of MND. In my talk, I’ll be giving a brief introduction to MND and an overview of my research findings.” |

"Stumped: One Cricket Umpire, Two Countries"
Jul 12, 2021 6:30 pm
Richard Harrison is an Australian author and cricket umpire. He umpired village, Kent League and County Championship matches in England for six years, before returning to Melbourne in 2011, where he has continued to umpire Women’s Premier Cricket (throughout Victoria), in the company of some of the best female cricketers in the world, including current Australian captain Meg Lanning. After fifteen years ‘in the middle,’ Richard recently wrote and published a memoir called; ‘STUMPED. One Cricket Umpire, Two Countries.’ His book is a light hearted and amusing reminiscence of his umpiring career. A very personal tribute to many of the players he has met along the way, and to the tremendous growth and development of women’s cricket in Australia. |
