After Lucy, we'll hear from Laura Oliver and her experiences of creating engaging social media content for modern students of a discipline that traditionally shies away from the limelight.

After a break for lunch we hear about Lucy Hyde's work to give every donor a story. She has been recreating the faces of Bristol’s “silent teachers” in memoriam. It’s a moving and powerful reminder of the individuals who make anatomical education possible - you wont look at osteology the same way!

Option 2 sees us heading into Dr Scott Abbott Paterson’s workshop, “From Dissection to Diversity,”. This workshop will explore how we can make anatomy teaching more inclusive and representative. From teaching materials to the classroom environment, Scott will share practical ideas with us all

We will then split the conference down the middle, and attend one of two concurrent workshops. Which workshop will you pick?

Day two will kick off (pun intended) with energy! Dr Suzanne Scott, lecturer and movement consultant to elite sports athletes, will be talking about “The Athlete Hip.” She’ll explore the unique anatomy and movement demands of athletes, offering insights that blend sports science with anatomy.

Our final talk of the day focusses on Kirsty Nelson's outstanding osteological preparations! From bare bones to a fully feathered masterpiece, Kirsty Nelson will show how she built an owl skeleton complete with flight feathers. It’s a fascinating mix of technical skill and biological wonder! 🦉

👄👐 Then it is time to roll up our sleeves! Lucy Hyde’s Mouth Modelling Workshop is a hands-on, interactive session where we’ll create our own anatomical models in the Human Dissection Room. It’s a fun and practical way to deepen our understanding of oral anatomy! 🎨🧠

🔬🧵 Dr Jo Tomlinson will then take us beyond what the eye can see in her talk on collagen-rich tissues. These structural powerhouses play a vital role in our bodies, and Jo will reveal how their mechanical and structural properties can be visualised in exciting new ways. 👀💡
