Bringing the Past to Life: Uncovering the Faces of Anatomy - Arnos Vale TALK: Come face-to-face with the often-forgotten individuals who make up the University of Bristol’s historical Anatomical Collection.

Only 5 days left to join my talk exploring the remarkable student project that reconstructed the face of one of our unknown silent teachers. It’s been an important step in memorialising and giving thanks to those who shaped our knowledge without recognition.

11am on a Saturday, with little interest in starting the day. What a life. What a long way from the streets.

Really interesting piece. I'm a super recogniser and have been involved in such studies. I must say comes in handy for taking a register mentally just from looking at faces in my class or lecture of 100...

My anatomist mind thought it was loops of small intestine at first glance.... 🙈

Brill day yesterday at @cendeathsociety.bsky.social I was made to feel so welcome & had great conversations with so many death scholars, each bringing such different perspectives. The “Death during conflict” talks to end the day were a real highlight: powerful, insightful, and incredibly moving.

I miss living in the NE of Scotland, and Scotland in general, for all this wonderful anatomical history to almost trip over!

Just like my double lecture on the visceral systems last week 😂

In 2025 I find that awful. If you don't have the tech or capabilities to offer hybrid online, the answers simple - just don't! I really hope the price was SIGNIFICANTLY less than in person.

This is incredible

Stunning historical anatomical illustrations, I love the overlap with the visuals of plants and phytology, how botanical these are - the kidney like a seed pod, and the bronchial tree like some sort of ivy or bramble 😍

Looks fantastic, sounds like a dream week!

You could save a fiver and get the Byredo 'Biblitheque' candle for a mere £35.....
The woodwick fireside one is lovely, but not much cheaper and ironically Im driven insane by the sound of the Wick!

43% of these women are separated from their partner at the time.... and 3 women a WEEK take their own lives due to DV, that's 1 in 8 of all female deaths.... Come on Reform, nothing to say? Probably because 67% of those at anti immigration marches already have a criminal record for domestic DV...

Beautiful illustrations. Interested to know if any of Bell's work and illustrations can be linked back to any specific donor / subject that can be noted?

Really excellent talk, Emily @emilymayvine.bsky.social , thoughtful and thought provoking, I learned so much! Thanks for sharing online IHR and allowing so many more people to engage with this great work.

For me it's Ilya Repins painting of Ivan the Terrible and His Son. The crumpled carpet, the realisation and desperation in the older Ivan's eyes and face, I find it utterly haunting

Just signed up, looking forward to it!

Would you please be able to share at all @uobartsmatter.bsky.social? Thanks a million

Can't wait to read this! I love depictions of the wound man

My article about why we should keep the names of dusty crusty old white men out of anatomical studies....

Fantastic! Would love to join but look forward to it being made available online after

Might be of interest @weirdbristol.bsky.social

Bringing the Past to Life: Uncovering the Faces of Anatomy - Arnos Vale Come face-to-face with the often-forgotten individuals who make up the University of Bristol’s historical Anatomical Collection.

My talk on the unknown historical silent teachers of the Anatomy Dept @bristoluni.bsky.social and a project reconstructing their faces at @arnosvalecemetery.bsky.social has been moved to 3rd December. More time to grab your in-person or online tickets! arnosvale.org.uk/bringing-the...

Is it just me or can some books only be read in certain seasons? The summer / autumn transition, changing of the leaves, alive but w/ heaviness in the air & a change to the textures & sounds of the landscape has me really reaching for Max Porters book 'Lanny' & another visit to Dead Papa Toothwort

(where appropriate....)

Unbelievable amounts of staff time to mark, almost impossible to moderate, insanely complex to provide a marking rubric for, very rarely align with learning objectives. However I agree, bring back the viva! I never knew so much about my subject as the minutes before stepping into the lab for mine

Interesting that students are calling for these types of assessment, when these are exactly the types of assessments Universities are asking courses to really move away from - removing vivas, reducing weighting on presentations or making them formative. Interesting and interesting-er
