THE newest appointees to the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force were formally welcomed to the Australian Defence Force.
Stefan Qin was just 19 when he claimed to have the secret to cryptocurrency trading.
Buoyed with youthful confidence, Qin, a self-proclaimed math prodigy from Australia, dropped out of college in 2016 to start a hedge fund in New York he called Virgil Capital. He told potential clients he had developed an algorithm called Tenjin to monitor cryptocurrency exchanges around the world to seize on price fluctuations. A little more than a year after it started, he bragged the fund had returned 500%, a claim that produced a flurry of new money from investors.
He became so flush with cash, Qin signed a lease in September 2019 for a $23,000-a-month apartment in 50 West, a 64-story luxury condo building in the financial district with expansive views of lower Manhattan as well as a pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub and golf simulator.
Revealed: the Cambridge-China Pact
Journalism makes nothing happen. The general lack-of-response within Cambridge to the
TCSarticle ‘Stephen Toope: Blind to Tyranny’ would certainly warrant this conclusion. The piece, published in May 2020, revealed that on two separate occasions the Vice-Chancellor (who specialises in human-rights law) had used his position to promote the methods and objectives of the dictatorial Chinese government.
First, in a February 2019 Jesus College white paper funded by Huawei, Toope appeared to endorse China’s plans for a ‘new governance system’ worldwide; second, in a March 2019 speech at Peking University, Toope praised the faculty as ‘a formidable institution, which seeks an open world’. This encomium would be blandly unobjectionable were it not the case that, in the months before Toope’s speech, secret police abducted the Peking students Yue Xin, Zhang Shangye, and Qiu Zhanxuan for protesting about labour rights.

AZoM speaks with Dr. Iman Roohani from UNSW. Dr. Roohani is part of a team of researchers that developed a technique referred to as Ceramic Omnidirectional Bioprinting in Cell-Suspensions (COBICS). This technique could allow surgeons to print structures that can be submerged in water and hardened within just minutes, resembling natural bone. Even more revolutionary, the structures contain living cells that continue to grow after they are implanted.
Can you give our readers a summary of your recent research?
We have developed a technique (COBICS) that enables printing constructs with the same chemistry to native bone mineral at room temperature with living cells. These structures are the most accurate mimics of the bone tissue. COBICS can print complex and biologically relevant architecture constructs without the need for sacrificial support materials, on-spot and laborious post-processing steps.
