Introducing the rest of our ONSA exec for 2026! These awesome people were selected at our AGM back in March and have been a fantastic contribution to our team 🩵

We are still looking for a 100-level representative! As a level representative, you will be a voice for your cohort, along with assisting other exec roles with their duties, and with ONSA-run events. We will be running an SGM to elect our 100-level rep at the beginning of semester two, make sure to keep this in mind! 🧠

Make sure to come along to our NeuroNight next week with Michelle Glass, Professor and Head of Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology! 🧠

At NeuroNight, we invite in a professor to come and speak of their research, their experiences, and how they got to where they are now. This is an incredible opportunity for us students interested in neuroscience to get insight into the different pathways available to us and to explore what we can do with our future.

Doors and pizza boxes will open 6pm for a 6:30pm start on Michelle’s presentation. Come along to grab yourself a seat and a slice of pizza! 🍕

Take 2! NeuroNight has been rescheduled for Thursday the 16th of April! Come along to hear from Dr Laura Gumy! 🩵

Laura is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anatomy, and her research focuses on intracellular transport processes and cytoskeletal remodelling in neurons. NeuroNight is a wonderful way for students interested in the different pathways of neuroscience to explore the possibilities of where our degrees can take us.

And to top it all off, we provide free pizza! 🍕
See you all there! x
