@aero_pedro_ Please send us a DM or try visiting ASK La Trobe in person next week.  twitter.com/messages/compo…

@aero_pedro_ Hi @aero_pedro, sorry to hear you're having trouble getting the answers you need. We're not aware of any issues with the system - but if you'd like to send us a DM with your full name and student number, we can try to assist 🙂

Can someone @latrobe answer the phone 1300 528 7623? Zero people in the queue and still no one answers. Live chat, no human available. Try to order a digital copy of degree, payment system asks for date expiry date but no field to enter it. Serious?

A team led by La Trobe University has drawn inspiration from nature to develop a breakthrough sensor that can rapidly track tiny molecular changes in blood, paving the way to real-time, personalised medicine. The discovery overcomes one of the biggest barriers in blood testing — that blood quickly clogs most sensors, making accurate instant readings almost impossible over long periods of time. latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/… | @ACSPublications #biosensors

Can crops yield more while using less fertiliser? New research from Professor Phil Brewer and team points to yes. By modifying the plant enzyme LBO in barley, researchers recorded 29% higher yield under low-nitrate conditions, driven by more tillers and grain number, without losing the benefits of helpful soil microbes. A promising advance for sustainable agriculture. Read the full story: bit.ly/3OWkQ5G @latrobe @LIMSLTU @LTUresearchers

The Melbourne Cobras are set to bring a strong India connection to Hockey One from 2026, with Hockey Victoria confirming elite Indian players will be included across the men’s and women’s squads. #Read_details 🔗👇 theaustraliatoday.com.au/hockey-victori… The move is designed to lift on-field standards from day one and strengthen the pathway for Victorian athletes by pairing local talent with international experience.
