Details
As educators and scientists, we know that good science demands continual reflection, revision and updates. However, we instructors cannot possibly keep up with every aspect of the diverse content within A&P. In the process of revision, authors Liz and Hilary have had the opportunity to discuss various points of A&P with experts from our own community. We have uncovered several surprises and reexamined persistent misconceptions that has immediate impacts on our writing and teaching. We are excited to share with you some of the recent content clarifications, community-shared insights, and concepts we’ve re-examined with fresh eyes. Come ready to challenge assumptions, re-think familiar material, and leave with ideas you can bring directly into your classroom.
