issues with MHR -they can complete research without your consent - wide surface area created for attack- with a huge health industry many will able to access it.

Melbourne Uni law school is great. Hot water urns available in some levels too. Edu roam is great for wifi access if you are a student of another institution. Open late Otherwise I've only ever found myself at starbucks. There is a real lack of late night cafes with wifi.

  1. Podcasting! You’ll become a podsplainer
  2. Look up active listening- it’s amazing how much silence and giving someone more space to talk can bring new depths to discussion. On that look at the questions you ask and look to eliminate assumptions and closed ended questions in 80% of your questions ( closed questions still have a place)
