The future of anatomy: flying specimens, robots, limitless energy!

Hey folks, this is the inauguralpost on this blog about how to build a better anatomy lab. This post should be a summary of material regarding the meeting we had, oh, about four weeks ago. I've forgotten most of what was said, but I'll try to add descriptions to the images below. This is just about everything recognizeable that I had from the meeting. I think Matt has some pics of Jay's lego.

Here we go:
So this was my idea for an alcove (sp?). The bench tops would be glass or plexi, under which would be content and pictures for basic to intermediate anatomy, that info would support the specimens situated on top in tupperware or as glass blocks. I would try to have content ask a few questions to lead students into a more advanced stage of learning in-where the content would be online and speciments would/could be in drawers beneath the desk tops. The peninsulas on the ends could be used to do small group teaching, as could the "Science Center Cart" (SCC for short!) in the middle. The cart could also be used to store specimens. My idea for the wall was to have a magnetic white board. Shelves with super-strong rare-earth magnets could be mounted on it to hold specimens, there could be some text transfered to the white board as well to support those specimens as the text on the tables did. There should be enough blank space on the white board that people can marker it, write stuff, draw diagrams etc.
