Dear All,
Just a quick message to those interested in attending the APWG
meeting on the 12th at the Royal College of Surgeons in London.
The meeting is still going ahead although in a revised format. The
day will begin at the RCS, with a tour of the Hunterian Museum.
The closest tube stop is Holborn. (Check the RCS web site or
further details of how to get there).
We will start in the Hunterian Museum, hopefully with some
refreshments @ 10.30 am (to be confirmed). The Hunterian curator
will be on hand to answer questions and chat. We may not have a
structured tour but home in on one or two of Hunters important
works in relation to comparative anatomy. We should be able to
get access to some of Hunter's bone pathology that is stored in the
drawers in the museum.
Those who want to can also go to the Wellcome Museum of
Anatomy and Pathology and whilst that is all human material, and
there will be the opportunity to look at specific pathologies.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANY PATHOLOGIES YOU
WANT TO LOOK AT AND WE CAN ARRANGE FOR THESE TO
BE MADE AVAILABLE. Thanks to those who have already
contacted me about this. If any one is interested, we can also visit
the
conservation lab and/or the store with Hunter's large animal skulls.
You'll be left to your own devices at lunch, although there are
plenty of pubs and cafes around.
The afternoon session will be at the Grant Museum of Zoology and
Comparative Anatomy, UCL (it's only a short walk from the RCS).
