No.1 – what a feeling!

It is honestly really humbling to find out our students keep voting us as Queensland's top public university for Overall Educational Experience. This is the fifth year in a row we've received this honour. We Are. Chuffed!

That wasn't the only top result – we also ranked best in Queensland for Teaching Quality and Engagement, Skills Development, Student Support and Services, and Learning Resources.

Thank you so much to all our students who keep championing us; to all our passionate staff who make these results possible; and to our communities who keep supporting us and growing alongside us.

Concussions have been a primary focus in contact sports – especially rugby league and AFL.

But chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has attracted much less attention, despite being a bigger concern, argues PhD candidate Leon Harris.

From the outside, they're virtually indistinguishable: male and female sea cucumbers look almost identical, making them pretty hard to breed.

Enter PhD student Paul Wright, who dedicated his research to uncovering more about the secret lives of these mysterious creatures.

Here's a cool development in the tech-engineering world – Professor Kenneth Ang has developed digital-forensics technology that can identify where and when videos or photos were captured, even when GPS data and metadata have been removed.

The system, which analyses faint power-grid signatures recorded by devices, could be used to help find missing persons and assist with serious criminal investigations.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the devastating landslides and flash flooding near the Nepal-China border.

Many of our international students – as well as members of our staff – have connections to the disaster hit region.

They bring diverse perspectives and experiences, culturally enriching our campuses and adding immense value to the communities in which we live and work.

At this challenging time, we are thinking of all of those who have family, friends and loved ones affected by the catastrophe.

The wellbeing of our students and staff is paramount, and we have support services in place. More details are available on our website.

As the impact of the Nepal-China border disaster is felt across our community, UniSC is providing support for affected s

Our researchers are creating a biobank to help uncover why bowel cancer diagnoses among young people have increased by 200 percent over the past 20 years.

Cancer biologist Dr Lochlan Fennell said, "We hope that analysing the tissue stored in the biobank will help us better understand how risk factors have changed over time, as well as how the disease develops and progresses."

This is an important initiative addressing a growing health concern. Follow the link to learn more.

A human tissue biobank is being set up by the University of the Sunshine Coast as part of a $2.5 million research projec
