2 | New Type of Vessel in Bones

3.5 minutes

Scientists have discovered a system of small vessels that cross every part of a bone’s cortical layers to supply most of the bone’s blood—over 80% of the arterial supply and 59% of venous drainage. The proposed name is trans-cortical vessels (TCVs).

• We’ve discovered a new type of blood vessel in our bones (brief article summarizing the discovery) my-ap.us/2B6tHce
• A network of trans-cortical capillaries as mainstay for blood circulation in long bones (full research article) my-ap.us/2B6ttSq
  • Video (gif) showing a virtual trip through a TCV my-ap.us/2B6XX6H

3 | Big Year: Content Updates & Applications

6 minutes

The first of several segments in a “debriefing” of the first year of this podcast.

This year brought many content updates and brief teaching snippets, from using green pens for grading to the role of platelets in immunity. Too many to mention, but Kevin gives his best shot at listing some of those that seem to be most memorable.

5 | Big Year: The Big Ideas of the Past Year

 

11 minutes

Each full episode usually has a “featured topic.” This segment reviews some of the major topics and themes that emerged during the first year of the podcast.  From caring-empathy-compassion to integrity to storytelling, and from testing-as-teaching to elephant skin to learning science, a lot was covered! And what about those guest interviews–the Learning Scientists, media expert Barbara Waxer, anatomy educator Aaron Fried, and artist-professor Paul Krieger? And let’s not forget those “lucky numbers”!

 

 

5 | Big Year: Wrapping Up
