As a millennial emo, I quite like spooky season. As an anatomist, I hate it 🤣 #veterinaryanatomy #anatomy #skeleton

I have a tab open on “Performing Oral Regional Nerve Blocks for Veterinary Patients” to remind me to add some clinical relevance to my skull anatomy lecture but the tab just appears as “Performing Oral” to anyone glancing over my shoulder, I feel like I’m going to have to justify myself a lot today😂

You know that metaphor about ducks being calm on the surface but then they’re frantically paddling below the water?… turns out the dog is mildly aggrieved on the surface and absolutely not paddling frantically below 😂 #biomechanics #veterinaryphysiotherapy #caninescience #dogs

Thank you to the biomechanics session organisers at #SEBconference for supporting my talk on tripedal locomotion in canine amputees 🐕
Extra thank you’s to @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social and Janneke Schwaner for their support ☺️

Had SO MUCH FUN making balloon model equine guts at VedEd this afternoon. My cognitive load is feeling very minimised 🧡🎈

Great first day at VetEd looking at making models for clinical skills and anatomy, followed by wine on the SS Great Britain featuring @grumpyfrog.bsky.social and @sesamoidstreet.bsky.social 🧡

Great time speaking at MMU’s Institute of Sport this week, sharing some insights into athletic performance and rehabilitation in non-human animals. Had such a fantastic time meeting their lovely team and seeing their awesome facilities. Thanks @kajdaniels.bsky.social for the invite ☺️

Needed some ‘physio-ing’ pictures to brighten up some slides and didn’t want to use dogs who haven’t given consent… Rogue is cantankerous, expensive and useless in many circumstances but the girl always does good teaching and good slides 👍

It’s conference season & marking season so spending a large proportion of my time in front of a screen. Started getting headaches & then weird motion-sickness like nausea almost constantly. Diagnosed myself with all manner of neurological disorders… turns out I’ve hit the age where I need glasses 😆🤓

One of my favourite colleagues, teaching dog Maeve, did some exciting cpd today, working towards teaching hydrotherapy as well as veterinary science. 10/10 the goodest girl.

Little bit of #veterinaryphysiotherapy and #caninehydrotherapy for Rogue today. Staying in shape as a #vetschool teaching dog 💪

I ran an anatomical heart art competition for Valentine’s Day with our vet students &, once again, they did not disappoint! They produced some stunning drawings, poetry, bakes, crochet, cross-stitch, digital art & even a pizza! I’ve shared a few below so you can see how talented they are!

Today I get to teach my absolute favourite lecture: gait! What used to be a whole term of lectures for physio students is now 1hr for vet students 😆💪 #gaitanalysis #locomotorbiomechanics #vetschool

Today’s lecture is on the eye so I’ve mildly harassed the dog with my iPhone and husband’s bike light to ensure she features 👀 #anatomy #veterinaryanatomy #neuroanatomy #vetschool
