Workshop

Dissection workshop on the comparative anatomy of the pelvic floor

We would like to gauge interest for a 6-hour intensive dissection workshop focused on the comparative anatomy of the pelvic floor, to be held during the ICVM meeting in Cairns, Australia. Please contact Diane Kelly dianek@umass.edu to let us know if you’re interested – data on interest will help us secure funding.

​

Participants will dissect in small teams; each team will be assigned a male or female specimen of a representative squamate, placental mammal, marsupial, or monotreme. If interest is sufficient and outside funding is obtained, the workshop will be held at the James Cook University Nguma-bada campus in Smithfield (a 20 minute drive from the ICVM convention hall). The event will be capped at 18 participants.

Conveners:
• Patricia Brennan (Mount Holyoke College)
• Diane Kelly (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
• Rachel Norris (University of Adelaide)
