Disarticulated skeleton.

Skull bones focused on cranium.

Vertebral column.

Histology of bone.

Trying something new in A&P1 lab by having stations for learning the bones. Less instructor centered and more heaving learning lifting for the students. #anatomyedu #ITeachAnatomy

Whiteboard with practice questions.

More than one way to use a whiteboard.

Runner in a pink shirt.

8 months in and I finally broke ten minutes! A mile in 9:38 - I’ve been stuck at 10:30-11 mins for so long I wasn’t sure I could improve it. It’s been a journey! #running #newyearsresolutions #anatomyedu

Opinion | The University’s Best Weapon Against A.I.: The 14th Century

I've been giving in class paper exams for years now as bulk of course grade.

Those that studied do well and know essential content for their future program and entrance exams. Some fail.

AI cannot replace basic knowledge for health care providers.

Sparkly apple for first day of school.

When you realize that your first class slide deck is way too much given all the other things that need to be discussed. But how do you cover homeostasis without covering, you know, other basics first?! Never enough time for all the things.

The Professors Are Using ChatGPT, and Some Students Aren’t Happy About It

I do always love me a great example of hypocrisy. Not that they are hard to find these days.

Either way, in this moment I'm pretty happy AI is woefully inadequate for doing anything effectively within the anatomy field - so issue is a non-issue for me.

Gift link.

I don't even know how to describe the mess Canva AI created...but it's like three versions of what is supposed to be epithelia but none of them are recognizable as actual epithelia.

This is what Canva AI gave me when asked to create a drawing of various types of epithelia.

It's safe to say anatomists will have their jobs for a while longer....

Assistant Professor I pointing out features of the skull.

Just got a little upgrade to my title, from Master Instructor to Assistant Professor I.

Look out "tenure" I'm coming for ya....also in Florida so not really but it's fun to imagine.

Aging Women’s Brain Mysteries Are Tested in Trio of Studies (Gift Article) Researchers identified a gene that seems to help slow brain aging in women, and studied links between hormone therapy, menopause and Alzheimer’s.

In my previous life I was a neurobiologist focused on aging in the primate brain (gene activity). These are some cool findings! #AnatomyEdu 🧠

An anatomist, a skeleton, and a skull in the lab.

Won a little teaching award (nominated by students which makes it really meaningful to me) at my college and they do a photoshoot to celebrate. Kind of fun! A little light in rather dark times for #HigherEd.

I oversaw twelve 12 lead EKGs today. Some days the A&P lab is busier than the ER!

Good news: all appeared normal.

Bad news: I'm not convinced students can palpate ribs and intercostal spaces.

Any other anatomists teach EKG? I've got questions.

Me in the lab with many layers for warmth.

It is so cold in the AP lab. Literally the samples don’t even need to be on ice and I’ve got three layers and a scarf on. In Florida. My hands are numb. #anatomyedu

This Nerve Influences Nearly Every Internal Organ. Can It Improve Our Mental State, Too? (Gift Article) On social media, exercises that aim to “tone” one of our body’s longest nerves have been touted as a cure-all for anxiety and other psychological ailments. Here’s what the research says.

As an anatomist anything about the Vagus nerve interests me and there are some tidbits in this article.

BUT, it's the comments that are 🔥.

This.

Always telling my college students that success in anatomy is all about memorization-you have to actually know the names of structures. To do that requires practice with repetition & time in between. That's it. Then you can develop understanding of rlships and physio concepts. #AnatomyEdu 🍎

Mug with EKGs and identifications.

When your work bestie gets you the perfect mug.

Do I definitely bring it and sip from it as I walk around during cardiovascular unit exam??

I connected with this Opinion piece and I might even add the link in the "How to Succeed" section of my syllabus.

College grades (probably all) should represent proficiency/mastery of CLOs not student behavior.

Sentence about muscles generated by google AI in response to query about sore calf muscles and ankles.

Soooooooo google AI gave me this little delight and I'm just curious how fellow anatomists are going to react.

And go. (See thread to really rile you up)

Christmas ornament with heart and skeleton earrings. Plus handwritten card.

This was a tough semester. But a few of my students left me little gifts and they’re all #anatomyedu related and I think I might cry.

And a couple of students wrote cards with whole paragraphs - no AI or anything!

I should retire now probably.

Ss: fail every practical exam.

Me: ok, I'll write an exam that covers the first 75% of class, I'll make it MC, and here's a study guide. Get a C and pass this lab.

Ss: fail exam.

Me: Did you study?

Ss: Well, um, not really.

Me: ok um, so see you in the Spring?

We did a quick design lab with the skin about UV - using Pasco sensors to measure UVA/UVB exposure -the results were fun - for ex: RayBan sunglasses were no better at blocking UV than $3 Walgreens ones-we ended with more questions than answers, but to me, that's a good day in science :) #AnatomyEDU

My office is so cold my finger tips and nose are frozen.

It's 68 degrees outside.

Oh Florida.

If only there was a little device that used negative feedback loops to maintain a narrow range of temperature within buildings.

What if I took this and turned it into a semester long #AnatomyEdu study calendar for lab? Like memorize the landmarks of the humerus. Identify agonist-antagonist muscle pairs. Name layers of epidermis. Etc. #ITeachAnatomy 🍎

Nature’s ‘Swiss Army Knife’: What Can We Learn From Venom? (Gift Article) A study of Gila monster venom helped start the revolution in weight-loss drugs. But scientists think that’s just the beginning.

If you teach #science this is a great article (free!) introducing the role of venom in medicine. I think students would find it very engaging but you could also extract relevant pieces. I'm going to pull the Gila monster - GLP-1 bit for #AnatomyEdu. I love seductive details for teaching. 😍
