Study

The anatomy labs are for students to study in as well as teach in. Students that are enrolled in courses in Swansea University that we teach anatomy to have access so here is a tour. Also a bit of AI, large language models and the evolution of the nervous system.

Knees 2.0

Dave Graham-Woollard came up with this idea of creating knees with ligaments that could be loosened to demonstrate the role of each ligment in a different form of stbility of the knee. We 3D printed knees and used nylon cord with detachable toggles to simulate the ligaments. After feedback from students this year I’ve been working on version 2.0 for the next knee anatomy week.
