We have now visited all the UK vet schools apart from Liverpool, where we will be heading to shortly, despite the snow and cold weather! Every where that we have been to has helped us brain storm the project and come up with some more fantastic ideas, such as a competition for students to submit a short powerpoint of their best anatomy work to encourage them to become involved. The best entries will then form part of the museum.
We are now working towards compiling a more complete list of resources which can be contributed towards the museum. As well as the more common place anatomical specimens we also saw some more unusual ones. Such as this incredible crocodile skeleton at Bristol and this enormous whale skeleton at Cambridge, which you can see in the photos below.
Over the next week we will be emailing the partners with a job description for the student curator position as well as an overall summary of all of the great ideas and thoughts that people came up with. Meanwhile we are working hard to put the framework of the project in place so that we will be ready to organise all the resources which are contributed.
