    I’ve added the podcast for the “First 18 days of the embryo” lecture to iTunes and the medicine page. I missed it out by accident thinking I had already created it. Thanks to Eve Bridgeman for the recording. I want to include images as part of the enhanced podcasts, but I need to draw these…

    It’s difficult (embryology, that is). Both teaching and learning the subject is difficult. As a subject that I am used to, albeit in a rather superficial manner in most areas, it’s not easy to know whether I’m getting the key points across or if I’m muddling the ideas. The group of students in the Swansea…

    I forgot to post this photo of Jo and Bradley. They popped into work a week or so ago.

    I really didn’t want to come in to work today. We’d had an excellent extended weekend and I was woken by Jack at about 7.15 this morning. I was nice and comfortable at home and Jack was really sad about the idea of me going to work for the day (I’ll aim not to work…

    I’m back in work again this week, as we have a week of resit exams for the first years. The first exam that I was involved in today had bats flying round the room half-way through. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come this week. We may have a plague of locusts…

    Today is the final anatomy exam of the year, and the last piece of the human structure module for most of our medicine students. Many of them were looking far more nervous than I’ve seen before. We’re examining the anatomy of the head and neck, which can get very detailed and intricate but is a…

    Today was the last anatomy session for the current first years (I think they were quite happy with that). That’s it, the teaching is over for another year. I’ve still got some web-based revision exercises to add to for them before they sit the exam, but they have been taught all the anatomy that they…

    Unfortunately I missed the School of Medicine staff vs student football tournament this week. It was billed as the start of a range of tournaments between staff and student groups, so I hope to attend the future games. I wasn’t actually planning to play, but I was looking forward to taking lots of action photos.…

    The 1st year medicine students are approaching the end of term, and the end of their first year. It’s a long, tough year, but they have one more teaching week next week, a reading week, and then a week of exams. They have some more work to do after that, but we won’t be directly…
