No, absolutely not, I agree

The male commentator literally says "I competed with a torn ACL back in 1985, it can be done and she's been proving that in qualification"........ But still the rhetoric continues

This looks fantastic! I'm so sad it clashes with another conference I'm involved with! Fingers crossed next time

I wish the HTA would help control some of this. I don't believe that just because a bone is over 100 years it isn't covered by any laws, and can just be washed hands of, and left to personal ethics and morality. Somethibg needs to be done!

She's a cutie isn't she - boggly eyes, one ear up one ear down always. On her write up at the shelter she was described as looking 'goofy' which is so on point

I miss this silly Billy so much when she's not around, even though she's a goofy sassbag, contributes nothing to the rent, and takes up the whole bed #dogsofbluesky

Happy my abstract has been accepted for the @slsauk.bsky.social conference πŸ₯³
I’ll be presenting on anatomical imaging: exploring how images of cadavers are managed, & how gaps in law & guidance leave decisions to individual's ethics & morality.
Grateful to contribute to such important conversations

You could. It was never official part of the uni, and anatomy classes were often private and could be run from anywhere by anyone, even at the start of the official medical school. Can recommend some great books on the history of the BRI and the museum collection if you're interested?

He was anatomised under the murder act, dissected and kept by Richard Smith Jr, who ran private anatomy classes out of the old BRI and kept this in his personal collection, which formed a huge part of the BRIs museum, before being dispersed after air raids destroyed the building in the 40s

What happens when you donate your body to science? Human bodies have been studied and dissected for thousands of years, sometimes to extreme lengths. But what happens if you donate your body to science now?

A thoughtful new short video from BBC Scotland highlights the importance of body donation with clarity and care. Scottish anatomy has a remarkable way of getting this right and Viv is the ideal voice to guide the public through such a vital, often misunderstood process.

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.
