The Elephant Man was a fascinating watch & the discussion after was even better! 🍿 🎥 🧠

Info about H209: Playground Games to Energize Neurology Education

Celebrity Deficits! I'm sure @zachlondon.bsky.social will be ok with that (just say "inspired by," not "stolen from"). Also share!

You'll find many free resources for neurology education available under Playground Games at NeurdGames.com (and we are showing them Wednesday at #AANAM at 12:50)

@zachlondon.bsky.social @oligoclonalband.medsky.social

Just popping in here to say that if it’s okay, I’m going to steal the idea of your photo/rhyme game (did it have a name?) for student/resident talks! (w/credit ofc!)

We had a fantastic neurocinema session at #AANAM yesterday!

Got to hear the guru Elco Wijdicks talk about history of neurocinema, and I got to discuss #NeurologyMovieNight! 🍿🎬🧠

We need a bigger room for the History of Neurology course next year - thrilled to see so many people standing in the back and sitting at the front for the History of Film @aanmember.bsky.social #AANAM with Eelco Wijdiks @paediatrix.bsky.social and Alexis Simpkins!

@paediatrix.bsky.social presenting on the use of cinema in neurology education at #AANAM!

Dendritic dare was super fun @zachlondon.bsky.social @oligoclonalband.medsky.social #AANAM #secretmission

Not sure what learning is happening here but #SecretMission.

Also the pink team member saying “just leave it here, it’ll be faster” was the saddest and funniest statement I’ve heard all day! #AANAM

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING HERE!!?! 😂🤩🫠 #AANAM #SecretMission
