"University and Lingard link in Australian first
Lingard Private Hospital, a division of Hospital Corporation Australia (HCA), and the University of Newcastle have announced a teaching agreement which is the first of its kind in Australia.
Under the agreement, Lingard is an Affiliated Teaching Hospital of the University.
Although other private hospitals in Australia have been appointed as Affiliated Teaching Hospitals, this is the first time that such a wide scope of co-operation has been established. The scope is both clinical experience and the development of special clinical services with associated research and special education.
Lingard’s well established In-vitro Fertilisation program is the basis for its infertility medicine service, and Lingard is therefore the premier hospital to provide experience and training in this field.
Lingard, in conjunction with the University’s discipline of Psychiatry and Faculty of Medicine, recently incorporated a Teaching Unit into its inpatient Psychiatric service. In addition to broadening the referral services available to medical practitioners, this Unit provides students with a pattern of experience not previously available to them in public hospital.
Professor Hamilton, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Newcastle, said students would have the benefit of experience with patients suffering from a range of surgical conditions not often seen in public hospitals.
The agreement took effect immediately, with students visiting patients at Lingard under the supervision of Lingard’s medical staff, including those University staff who whole clinical appointments to the special programs of fertility and psychiatry.
Mr Ron Denison, Excusive Director of Lingard Private Hospital, said such an agreement recognised the expertise and facilities offered to patients at the hospital.
We will benefit greatly from the new relationship with the University’s Medical Faculty, particularly in the area of research’, Mr Denison said.
‘We have been working with the University on research in in-vitro fertilisation and psychiatry and this agreement will strengthen our joint commitment to these research projects and many others in the future.
‘Lingard Hospital is very proud to be associated with the University and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship."

This picture provides friendship connections in two U.S. middle schools. Students are coded by race: yellow nodes for white; orange nodes for black; green nodes for Asian; purple nodes for Indian; blue nodes for others. There are 15% of white students and 45% of black students joined the basketball club in the first school, and 31% of white students and 35% of black students joined basketball club in the second school. My research proposes a model of friendship formation in social networks to figure out whether cultural activities help to alleviate segregation among different racial groups in society. People meet others by attending activities or joining clubs, which provides a channel to build new connections. The observation from data shows that when basketball (or baseball) is prevalent among white students, both black students and white students build more cross-type connections, and then the segregation level decreases in these schools.

Lecturing staff representing the Department of Civil Engineering and Surveying welcome Dr Sue McNeil back to the University. (Sue was the first woman to complete a civil Engineering degree with Honours Class l, 1977),

"From Maitland High to M.I.T
Dr Sue McNeil came back to the University recently from the United States ten years after having graduated. She was the first woman to complete a Civil Engineering degree with Honours Class I.
Sue McNeil has been lecturing since 1984 in the United States, where, she says, the proportion of women studying engineering at universities has risen to about twenty-five per cent.
She says she has noticed that most women engineers have fathers or brother who are engineers and who have given the women encouragement to look at the profession as a career alternative.
Dr McNeil’s father, Mr G. McGeachie, of Dora Creek, is a retired mining engineer. She says her father thought engineering was quite reasonable career for a woman. She came to the University in 1973 and studied for a combined BE/BSc degree, graduating in 1977. Meanwhile, she married Mr John McNeil, who holds BE and BCom degrees in this University.
John McNeil was transferred to the US by the firm that employed him in 1979 and Sue McNeil enrolled at the Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. She went on to complete a master’s degree and a doctorate in transportation systems. For a year she had a teaching appointment at Princeton University in New Jersey and in 1985 she began working at MIT.
In between taking out her PhD and beginning to teach at MIT, Dr McNeil gave birth to her daughters, Sarah and Emily.
At MIT she is a Assistant Professor in Transportation systems and a member of the Centre for Construction Research and Education and the Centre for Transportation Studies. Her speciality is statistical methods applied to infrastructure and transportation management problems.
She is among 200 engineers and scientists selected by the National Science Foundation to receive 1987 Presidential Young Investigators Awards. With matching funds from industrial sponsors, the coveted grants provide up to $100,000 per year for five years. The awards are designed to identify the US’ best young faculty and to encourage their early research and teaching careers.
Dr McNeil says that in the future she hopes to see greater participation by Australian schoolgirls in science and mathematics so that they are able to make the transition to university and enrol in technological courses such as engineering.
To the question of the training she received at the University of Newcastle she has a straightforward answer, ‘My undergraduate education here was as good as any I have seen being provided elsewhere’."

Distant shot of a Tiger Moth - Ctenucha species
Likely Ctenucha venosa - Veined Ctenucha - Hodges number 8260
The similar Ctenucha cressonana (Hodges number 8261) flies at high altitudes, and maybe only in midsummer.
I tried to get closer, but this was down a steep, steep, slope!
