Entirely unsurprised to discover that Geoff Shaw teaches and coordinates a 3rd year breadth subject about sex (Sex: Science & Society). More surprised to discover he graduated with a double major in zoology and -pure mathematics-; two things you don't usually see side by side.

There's a bloke that we had this year who apparently teaches in it as well. Seriously almost considered doing the subject just for him. He's head of zoology and an expert in assisted reproduction, so we had him for the reproduction lectures. The first of which started off with all the things he had in the shape of sperm, which included a USB and a t-shirt that said "Got sperm?".

Does he have a fluffy toy sperm? Because I have one of those, it's my secret pride/shame (it was a lolgift a while back)

Friend of mine had a Super/Spermman T-shirt with a sperm coiling into an S shape lol

The worst thing is that after looking into this subject I really, really want to take it D:

Hi,
Is it possible to be eligible for an access scholarship from the year before that you didn't apply for because you had no idea about it? I'm guessing not but is it worth a try?

[lavalamp123]

You can only apply to Access Melbourne by submitting a course application through VTAC- so you would need to start a UMelb course from the beginning in order to apply.

There are plenty of other equity scholarships available through the university though.

Thanks for link, but I don't meet the criteria for any of those - they're mostly for research higher degrees it seems.
