Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—My congratulations to Dr. Melissa Tadros, a Charlestown electorate local and academic at the University of Newcastle's School of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy, who has been honoured with a prestigious Australian Award for University Teaching. Dr. Tadros received a Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning, an award honouring the diversity of contributions made by individuals and teams to the quality of student learning in higher education. Dr. Tadros' award cites sustained commitment to enhancing student engagement, success and inclusion in biomedical education using digital tools that emphasise a personal teaching style, inspiring diverse cohorts. With research providing new insights into how nerve signals travel from the body to the brain and govern sensory discrimination, Dr. Tadros has contributed to 16 undergraduate and postgraduate human biomedicine courses over the past twelve years. Dr. Tadros is recognised for designing and presenting material in a way that increases student motivation and involvement, facilitating deep understanding of complex content. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition, Dr. Tadros, and I wish you all the best with your future academic career. I'm sure we'll see much more to come from this exceptional researcher.
