So I might be in the class room today, but that doesn’t mean we cannot learn through 3-D appreciation of specimens to complement the 2-D onscreen presentation and enhance our understanding of the subject being taught. #AdvancedAnatomy #neurodivergent #dyslexia @one-cardiffuni.bsky.social

Terribly saddened to hear that Jane Goodall has passed away. What a wonderful human being she was, and worked relentlessly for the wildlife she loved until her dying breath. #janegoodall

When the steaks are high, there is only one man to call on: the absolute unit that is Shane Rangi. This man has been like a brother to me over the weekend, and we ate together and shared stories every night. Thank you Shane, you made my convention.
