I think you would be interested in how one of my lecturers teaches anatomy – she posts a lot from our classes on Facebook – it’s a public group called Innovative Anatomy (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Innovative-Anatomy/179607045387194)
I think there’s some links to her research in life-long learning techniques.

This is really cool. I told a colleague of mine about it (a Dance teacher) because she teaches a dance science class and she was interested too. She says she also teaches her class with strings attached to different parts of the students’ bodies. Thanks for the link.

I was hoping to test myself on color perception. Is it possible to post a link? You are one of my favorite podcasts. I looked forward to each new episode.

Catching up on your podcast. What I gained from your podcast, which had a huge influence on my knitting is (sorry, I don’t remember who said it) but I knit for the PROCESS, not the finished project. I was always rushing to finish a project, had many mistakes and knitting was becoming stressful! Thank you for helping me understand that knitting is for the process, not just finishing a project.

This note’s only purpose is tp THANK YOU both for a very educational adult podcast. I appreciate hearing about your part of California, brain information you want to share, plus of course the knitting comments that first drew me to your podcasts. I wish we (the people who enjoy you) could stand up and cheer your lack of ads, begging for donations etc. That you give us these minutes as a gift should be acknowledged by us all. Thank you again. Please stay with us for a long long time!
