    I’ve been taking photos of bones this morning for elearning materials, exams and so on. Greg popped in and this strange photo occurred by happenstance. (He was looking at the skull).

    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.

The group of students in the Swansea…

    The University is full of police searching the grounds today, before tomorrow’s Royal Visit. We had a fire alarm this morning so the Fire Brigade turned up too. Almost a full suite of emergency services.

    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…
