Two faculty members of the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology joined forces to bridge the field of cryo-electron microscopy (Mike Strauss) and extracellular matrix cell biology (Dieter Reinhardt). This interdisciplinary team also spanned faculties across McGill, as Michael Wozny (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) and Valentin Nelea (Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences) spearheaded the experimental approaches together with other team members and a visiting scholar.

This past July 17-21st, the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology hosted the Fascia Summer School in collaboration with the University of Padua, Italy.
The event featured didactic lectures on the most recent advances in fascia, dissection labs conducted by our lead anatomists, Carla Stecco and Gabriel Venne, and hands-on workshops to expose participants to the different fields of practice and research on fascia.
Thank you to Prof. Venne and the Division of Anatomical Sciences for their work in ensuring the success of this event!

There are collectible trading card games for almost everything these days. Besides Pokémon, there are, of course, cards for athletes, celebrities, TV and movie characters, and musical instruments, just to name a few.
So when Mikaela Stiver, a faculty lecturer at McGill University in Montreal, Québec, couldn’t find something similar for anatomical structures, it struck a nerve. A cranial nerve. “I was honestly shocked to discover that no one had made anything similar for cranial nerves,” Stiver said. “That’s when I knew I had to make them!” |

Milton Riaño, McGill’s Climate Change Artist-in-Residence, will curate the Faculty of Science’s Bicentennial Science/Art Exposition, billed as a “celebration of science in all its forms”.
The art show organizers are calling on all members of the McGill community to submit works in any medium, expressing what science means to them.
The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2021.
