Come work with me at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Great Histology, Gross Anatomy, and Neuroanatomy teaching opportunities here!

@DrKarenPinder @OsteoblastGirl This is a great idea. I've had around 4-5 students come to me with some scale of colorblindness this year. Luckily our student education center has accomodations for them if they can't see they slides very well.

@LauraEJohnson3 I don't think so. There's a couple tutoring sessions during the weekend, and around 15 total tutors, so never too overwhelming, at least according to the tutors

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@LauraEJohnson3 All M1s are encouraged to attend and don’t have to pay anything. Tutors are paid by our educational support department

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@LauraEJohnson3 Upper level medical students have gross anatomy tutoring sessions for our M1s. Usually take place on a Saturday or Sunday.

@amandameyerphd I'm the course director for both med and dental histo from Aug-Dec and we teach all the systems, with 5 lectures on teeth histo for the dental students

@ChimpanzeElaine Congrats on the Fellowship! That sounds like an amazing opportunity!

@DrDBentley I actually don't remember much of it, honestly. It was exciting and a little scary. I remember the first time I taught I dissection course to med students though. Also exciting and scary, but I felt more competent

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@DrDBentley I remember thinking it was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. I got to see a cadaver in undergrad, and then I got to dissect my first one in grad school

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@DrDBentley I read the entire book in a bit under 2 weeks. It did fly by! Such a differenct perspective compared to what we anatomists see in our day to day

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@caitskirby In my PhD program, I had to retake Medical Histology. I am now a course director for the Medical Histology Module at our medical and dental school. I felt like a failure at first, but it all worked out in the end

@KristaRompolski I can't wait until I get to this point. I guess I can take it as a compliment that people think I look young, but I hate being mistaken for a student when I have been a faculty member for almost 3 years now.

@KristaRompolski @Drewboo830 @AnatomyOrg @expbio I’m always down for a haunted tour!

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@Drewboo830 I've seen breast implants and a penis pump before. Not sure how other cosmetic/reconstructive procedures are easily seen in donors, esp since many of them are skin based (eg Botox)

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@badassanatomist @shawnboynes @AnatomyOrg @POP_AART That's so exciting. Congrats!!

[Melissa Taylor, PhD @MTanatomy]

@MikaelaStiver I had to Google what muscle was being referred to. Apparently orbicularis oculi. https://t.co/UCasc2VJHO. Though it says this muscle is WITHIN the eye. Uh, nope

@britkenyon01 I think just the general yellow color is indicative the whole Simpsons species is suffering from a severe form of jaundice 😂

@JPrangeKiel @FoveaCapitis @dranatpratt I believe one of the books was called Small Teaching and other was Make it Stick. I plan on reading both! That was a great session #Anatomy21
