So I was offered course as my second preference and am planning to accept because it’s better to be safe than not get into uni at all. I haven’t really heard many people talk about it nor know people who have done it to ask for their opinions, however the few that I have read aren’t very.....positive...? (I’ve heard particular things about it not being accredited(?) but I don’t really know what that means and stuff regarding the internships). Might I add that I am a person very easily influenced by the opinions of others and am not very knowledgeable on a lot of technical things involving university, so to say the least it made me extremely anxious about my future and the potential career aspects.
To keep it simple I just want to see if anybody here can share their experience with it (including finding internships) as well as their experience with finding employment afterwards (because I’ve also heard it’s now a very saturated field).
I might add a little extra info in case anybody would be able to help but I had radiography at Monash as my first preference purely because I was offered a scholarship, however I haven’t heard much about that course either other than it being more textbook work heavy (if that made sense) and that they helped students find internships. If I do get an offer in second round I don’t know much of a difference in quality between the two uni’s courses.
I doubt anybody will see this but I’ll say thank you in advance
Working on a project that requires image analysis. Anyone knowledgeable in this field willing to volunteer an hour of their time to discuss/answer a couple of questions?

I’m Dr. Adrian Owen, a professor of neuroscience, here to answer your questions about our breakthroughs in brain science.
I’ve been fascinated with the human brain for more than 25 years: how it works, why it works, what happens when it doesn’t work so well. At the Owen Lab at Western University in Canada, my team studies human cognition using brain imaging, sleep labs, EEGs and functional MRIs. We’ve learned that one in five people in a vegetative state are actually conscious and aware (I recently wrote a book on it – www.intothegrayzone.com, if you’re interested).
We’ve also examined whether brain-training games actually make you smarter (pro tip: they don’t).
Now my team is working on a cool new project to understand what happens to specific parts of people’s brains when they get too little sleep. We’re testing tens of thousands of people around the world to learn why we need sleep, how much we need, and the long- and short-term effects sleep loss has on our brains. A lot of scientists and influencers, such as Arianna Huffington and her company Thrive Global, have already raised awareness about the dangers of sleep loss and the need for research like this. Since we can’t bring everyone to our labs, we’re bringing the lab to people’s homes through online tests we’ve designed at www.worldslargestsleepstudy.com or www.cambridgebrainsciences.com. We hope to be able to share our findings in science journals in about six months.
So … if you want to know about sleep-testing, brain-game training or how we communicate with people in the gray zone between life and death … AMA!
I will be here at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT / 5:00pm UTC), with researchers from my lab, Western University and the folks who host the www.worldslargestsleepstudy.com platform—ask me anything!
Update: We're here now! Ask us anything! Proof that I am real: http://imgur.com/a/NvPMK
Update 2: I appreciate all the questions! I tried my best to answer as many as I could. This was really fun. See you next time. Now, time for some pineapple pizza! http://imgur.com/a/Yy88r
My name is Matt Tiscareno, and I do planetary science research at the SETI Institute. As part of the Cassini Imaging Team, I studied phenomena in Saturn’s rings including waves, embedded moons, impact ejecta clouds, and more. I also helped to plan many Cassini images, including the last images that Cassini ever took of the rings. More generally, I study how things move in the solar system. I helped use a wobble in the rotation of Enceladus to prove that that moon of Saturn has a global ocean underneath its icy surface. I work on making NASA data available to everyone, on observing rings with James Webb Space Telescope, and on putting together the next-generation spacecraft to explore Saturn’s rings.

Straight to the point for those strapped for time: the highest quality pics (~67.2 GB total as of last night) are here:
Yes, Windows 10 accepts TIF files as background images, so you don't have to worry about converting them before using them. You can use the native wallpaper rotating feature or (my recommendation) John's Background Switcher, which is also available for macOS. Ubuntu and AUR-based distro users can use Wallch.
If the TIF files are too large for you, there are color JPGs of various resolutions:
Note that in all the above links the last number in the URL is the horizontal resolution of the pics in that folder.
Where are these images from? Well, a long, long time ago, people smarter than us decided to send a 30 cm per pixel camera on a probe that currently orbits Mars. Rest of the story here.
If you're wondering what to use for the download job, I recommend Persepolis.
Hi Reddit! Permafrost coasts are incredibly dynamic, and highly vulnerable to climate change. Across the ice rich coasts of the western Canadian Arctic, erosion rates have increased by 20 to 200% since the year 2000, with some coasts now retreating at over 50m per year. The erosional mechanisms here are complex and diverse, with a range of often spectacular failure types, from huge collapsing blocks to massive thaw slumps. As well as causing rapid changes on land, the increased erosion rate over recent decades is substantially increasing the volume of sediment, nutrients and organic carbon exported to the marine eco-system on an annual basis, with knock on impacts on fisheries, carbon balance and more. To better understand the processes governing the increased erosion and to more accurately assess coastal retreat rates, we’re currently using a range of new and novel technologies, from drones and laser scanning, to long-tern time-lapse photography and thermal imaging even along large stretches using helicopters!.
We have a great group here, listed below, ready to answer your questions, and a few others that will chime in too!
Dustin Whalen: I’m a coastal scientist with Natural Resources Canada. I’ve been studying coastal and nearshore process in the Beaufort sea for the last decade. In that time, I’ve conducted over 30 field programs in the region over the spring, summer and winter, with particular focus on coastal erosion, nearshore sediment dynamics and sea ice break-up.
Mike Lim: I’m a senior lecturer in civil engineering from Northumbria University with research interests in coastal geomorphology and slope processes. I’ve previously been engaged in monitoring of coastal dynamics in Svalbard using 3D change detection and thermal characterisation of cliffs.
Samuel Hayes: I’m PhD student from Northumbria University studying Arctic coastal erosion. This is my first trip to the Arctic, where my activities have ranged from spending hours digging holes for passive seismic surveys to collecting thermal imagery of permafrost cliffs from helicopter!
Roger Macleod: I’m a remote sensing and geomatics specialist with Geological Survey of Canada. I apply new geomatics technologies, from satellite imagery to drones, to improving our understanding of coastal dynamics in the western Canadian Arctic.
Andrew Gordon: I’m a technician from
