New (open access) paper: The provision of abortion in Australia: service delivery as a bioethical concern. https://t.co/QHI2rg7qIp

The annual revue by the medical students at ANU is always one of the year’s highlights and something that makes a strong contribution to the schools sense of community.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Medics’ revues are a tradition of UK medical school and hospital social life.

We propose a revival of The BMJ’s medics’ revue and seek entries that make serious and unserious points about medical training and practice.

Submit by 28 February 2026

I am surprised this can work for anything other than a very small window of someones career. Once it is clear that conference abstracts are not translating into actual publications then their value becomes significantly discounted and even a negative.

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

💬 Viewpoint: Mass abstract submissions in #MedEd have led to inflated metrics, less meaningful research, and misaligned incentives for trainees and institutions.

I do not really disagree with this, but why should the same not apply to postdocs and other entry level academic jobs to those recently graduated with PhDs from UK institutions.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

All UK medical school graduates should be guaranteed a foundation programme training post and should be prioritised for specialty training posts over international medical graduates, BMA representatives have urged

OA chapter: Bioethics after COVID-19: Should We Embrace a Political Turn? in Because COVID… Pandemic Responses, Rationales and Ruses a collection of essays about the pandemic and its impacts: https://t.co/vDOEtZSD2T

[ANU Press @ANU_Press]

Our latest title looks beyond the rhetoric of Australia’s #COVID19 responses to consider where the pandemic has taken us as a nation. It examines economic policy, freedom of speech and movement, violence against women, Indigenous communities, and more.

It is hard to see this as anything other than preparing for a future where student will begin protesting about Trump and the direction he is taking the USA in.

@aytchellesse Wittgenstien thought philosophy left everything as it is. Ironic I suppose, since he left neither philosophy nor his students as they were.

@TrevorHockins No lecturers certainly, academic pay scales are publicly available on the website. The scale for professors is <200K. A few clinical / business Professors may have supplements that take them over 200K, perhaps even significantly so.

It is less the right than its implementation that I am question: Article headline: ANU bioethicist questions doctors’ right to conscientiously object to performing abortions

[Region Canberra @RegionCanberra]

If abortion is a legal right, should doctors be able to refuse to do the procedure? A bioethicist weighs in https://t.co/FiI1iwxvvL
