My babies are complete 😈 Hand-molded hand-painted models of the development of the fetal aortic arches. Credit to my mom for her help with the stand ❤ I'm so excited for this resource to be available to students! #anatomy #embryology

I'm the one with the net

I'm sure that there are a few folks who can relate to this....

What I’ve found in my dabbling (and it is very compelling…I’ve had to fight to keep myself out of it) is that the argument becomes the product I’m selling, not a conversation or a quest for truth. Extending the argument forever becomes in both parties best interests. The only thing thing that matters is whatever my opponent said last. You just dig deeper and deeper, and you always feel like you’ve won, but you’re actually always driving people deeper into their pre-conceived sides.

Empathetic, thoughtful conversation can convince and find truth, but it can’t happen with hot-button issues in public forums because the goal is never to listen and empathize, it is to win. And the side that does the most listening and is the most empathetic is the side that is losing in the format of a debate.

Read the syllabus.
Learn the word roots, don't just try to memorize the vocab.
Talk to me if you have an issue with anything.
Don't forget self care!

J.B.S Haldane: "The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we CAN suppose."

Let's talk about the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum:
It can 'feed' on sunlight; gives birth to live, pregnant clone-babies & needs to be bacterially infected to survive.

@Chapman_Histo Honestly I was a medical transcriptionist for a while and the doctors all pronounce everything different from each other anyway, so I tell them I don't really care how they pronounce it if they can spell it right and answer questions about it on the test ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very cool surgery: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip reconstructed w/
"staircase" flap technique. Looks like a video game…

We had a nice discussion on mechanical valves on rounds today:

💨 Always ask type/position
🩸 INR range depends on multiple things
💊 Don’t forget about ASA

1000000% adapting this with skeletal muscles for #ANAT314!!! 🤓💪🏼💡

“Are you an upper limb muscle?”
“Do you cross more than one joint?”
“Are you innervated by the tibial nerve?”
“Do you attach to the lumbar transverse processes?”

Prepare yourselves, @McGill_ACB students… 😂

Ever wondered what the clinical and anatomical words actually mean?

We designed Wordotomy to give communities, schools and universities a way to help people make sense of this complexity!

Me and @TFlanaganLab had a (chaotic) cranial nerves class today, so we whipped up these models from @DanielMannionMD, mirroring one for a paired set, + made a *small modification*, because everything is better with lasers.

Superior rectus + inferior oblique actions shown here.

[Summer Daye Bird, MS @AnatomyBird]

I agree - good. Me either.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Good.

This Centenary Review looks back on the last century of research on fish parasites.
🐟🪱🪱🪱🐟
It provides an overview of research on parasites as tags, as indicators of success for Marine Protected Areas, and their impact on aquaculture.

I’ll never stop giggling at every conservative tweet gloating about how their point is “BaSiC sCiEnCe” - like…congrats? Sorry you didn’t make it past the basics, weird flex.

This might be the single greatest piece of art I've ever seen in my life

Wrapping up intro biology lab research presentations in style. Hand knitted and designed- every major phyla covered in the class ... and a few prokaryotes and viruses because the microbiologist in my department insisted 😊 I'm sure @markowenmartin would approve of the decision

Do you hate it when people ask what you want for Christmas because you don't want anything in particular for Christmas? Well, how about this, just text them "https://t.co/oW1Cv2NFvb"
