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 😍

Really excellent talk, Emily @emilymayvine.bsky.social , thoughtful and thought provoking, I learned so much! Thanks for sharing online IHR and allowing so many more people to engage with this great work.

My article about why we should keep the names of dusty crusty old white men out of anatomical studies....

My talk on the unknown historical silent teachers of the Anatomy Dept @bristoluni.bsky.social and a project reconstructing their faces at @arnosvalecemetery.bsky.social has been moved to 3rd December. More time to grab your in-person or online tickets! arnosvale.org.uk/bringing-the...

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 😍

Excellent evening yesterday attending the online 'meet the author' event, hosted by @surgeonshall.bsky.social and the brill @anatomicalcat.bsky.social, chatting to the wonderful and inspiring @mollyconisbee.bsky.social about her beautiful book, and all things death studies. Thanks all!

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.

Come hang out with me in a graveyard one evening and talk about anatomy? 22nd October, 7pm, Arnos Vale, it's a date!
