This awesome video by the University of Michigan’s Museum of Zoology show the process involved with articulating a bat skeleton from start to finish. This is incredibly similar to how we do it in our own lab, but we typically use a previously frozen specimen and our bug colony is not so active so things take a little longer there. I wish we had the kind of facility they do, but I’m glad to see they are using their resources to make such cool educational material! It helps me dream of the infinite possibilities for our own lab projects.
This is something I will actually try to do for my anatomy exam this year! I’m very excited!

“Dear House
I am always home, and wherever I go, I carry my house. Each wall stands inside me, determined to be strong. Each window permits a breeze, open to change. Each ceiling imperfect, but always secure. Each floorboard weathered, evidence of time. Each door holds fast, stubborn hinges guarded. And the light is still on, providing me warmth. I am my home, and wherever I go, I carry my house.”
