Dr Josephine Muir likes putting ideas into action - the bigger the better.

Currently working for Nobel Prize winner Professor Barry Marshall, Dr Muir can also list former Senator the Hon Helen Coonan, and ground-breaking ophthalmologist Dr Angus Turner, as previous bosses.

“I have been so fortunate to work with such highly gifted people who all have amazing energy and brilliant ideas.

“A large part of my role in these jobs has been to make the ideas become reality,” she says.

UWA staff, students and alumni will march together in the Perth Pride Parade in Northbridge later this month.

Marchers will meet at 7pm, with the march beginning at 8pm and finishing an hour later.

If you would like to take part on 19 November please contact Rob Blandford for more information.

The first batch (Batch 1P) of applications were successfully migrated to UniWA over the weekend. Eleven applications across thirteen servers were migrated from legacy domains to UniWA.

Last week the WA Parliament passed new legislation covering the governance and commercial operations of the state's five universities.

The local higher education sector has sought for many years to have their Acts of Parliament changed to reduce the regulatory burden imposed on them and allow them greater freedom to use their land for commercial purposes. 

Under the Universities Legislation Amendment Bill 2016, Curtin, Murdoch and Edith Cowan universities could now use their land for commercial purposes, something UWA has long had available to it.
