Been talking about this for years: Skills wheels, compulsory team teaching, generic content that anyone can cover, modeled on Starbucks and stripping out the content of degrees to avoid a “single point of failure” (that’s management-speak for an academic off sick). This is how you kill HE.

I'm delighted to finally share details of a workshop series I'm hosting with @thackraymuseum.bsky.social! 'Researchers in Museums' is open to a wide range of early career researchers and offers the opportunity to go 'behind the scenes' in a fantastic medical museum. Please share widely!

Researchers in Museums: Collections and Archives Workshop Series. Thackray Museum of Medicine, Leeds. 13 May; 18 June; 9 July; 1-4pm. I am delighted to be working with Thackray Museum of Medicine to host three workshops for ‘Researchers in Museums’. These interactive workshops offer early career researchers an opportunity to learn about the potential of museum collections to enrich their research. Each workshop will include:

‘Cancer in the Collections’: a unique insight into how one researcher, Dr Claire Turner (Durham University) uses Thackray’s extensive collections and archives to support her own research.
Stores Tour: an exclusive guided tour of Thackray’s stores by its Collections Team, with the opportunity to learn more about the history of the museum and the objects, books, and archival materials it holds.
Research Room Time: a chance to look in greater depth at books, objects and archival materials drawn from the museum’s collections.
Personal Research: option to request and view an object related to your own research.

Each session can accommodate up to 8 attendees, each of whom will receive a £20 bursary towards travel to the workshop.

To be eligible to attend, you must be:
An early career researcher (MA, PhD, or within two years of finishing the PhD)
Working broadly within the field of medical humanities

Expressions of interest should include a short summary of your research, how you meet the workshop criteria, and your preferred workshop date (max 250 words). All EOIs should be submitted to claire.o.turner@durham.ac.uk by 5pm on Friday 17 April.

Happy my abstract has been accepted for the @slsauk.bsky.social conference 🥳 I’ll be presenting on anatomical imaging: exploring how images of cadavers are managed, & how gaps in law & guidance leave decisions to individual's ethics & morality. Grateful to contribute to such important conversations

A thoughtful new short video from BBC Scotland highlights the importance of body donation with clarity and care. Scottish anatomy has a remarkable way of getting this right and Viv is the ideal voice to guide the public through such a vital, often misunderstood process. www.bbc.co.uk/videos/cd0kv...

What happens when you donate your body to science?

Human bodies have been studied and dissected for thousands of years, sometimes to extreme lengths. But what happens if you donate your body to science now?

Only 5 days left to join my talk exploring the remarkable student project that reconstructed the face of one of our unknown silent teachers. It’s been an important step in memorialising and giving thanks to those who shaped our knowledge without recognition. arnosvale.org.uk/bringing-the...

Really interesting piece. I'm a super recogniser and have been involved in such studies. I must say comes in handy for taking a register mentally just from looking at faces in my class or lecture of 100...

Brill day yesterday at @cendeathsociety.bsky.social I was made to feel so welcome & had great conversations with so many death scholars, each bringing such different perspectives. The “Death during conflict” talks to end the day were a real highlight: powerful, insightful, and incredibly moving.

Stunning historical anatomical illustrations, I love the overlap with the visuals of plants and phytology, how botanical these are - the kidney like a seed pod, and the bronchial tree like some sort of ivy or bramble 😍

Is it just me or can some books only be read in certain seasons? The summer / autumn transition, changing of the leaves, alive but w/ heaviness in the air & a change to the textures & sounds of the landscape has me really reaching for Max Porters book 'Lanny' & another visit to Dead Papa Toothwort

On World Anatomy Day, we honour the gift of understanding the human body—its design, resilience, and vital role in life. Studying anatomy is to witness nature’s quiet genius. Most sacred are those who donated their bodies, their silent generosity shaping so much of what we know about ourselves.

Cannot express how excellent the spicy tantanmen ramen, with sides of crunchy chicken karaage and the show stealing crispy sichuan aubergine, were yesterday from Tomo no Ramen in Old Market - a stones throw from the centre and a must visit for anyone visiting 😍

Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder that caring for our minds is just as vital as caring for our bodies. It's OK not to be OK; 1 in 8 of us live with some form of mental health imbalance or disorder. Today, be gentle with yourself and others, everyone carries something unseen.
