RE: Blue Mussel Dissection (Graphic?)

in #science7 years ago (edited)

There was a discussion about stopping the dissections in schools a while ago, my suggestion was documenting one in details and make copies for students to use, it's great to see someone is doing that.
you're providing for the masses, information they didn't have access to, if you can document it with greater detail, you would be saving numerous animals as well.
May I suggest more light while taking pictures and perhaps a tripod for your phone/camera for better quality?

Sort:  

It's not like I took the pictures with the goal to post them. I documented my dissection that I was required to do as part of my education, because I felt like it. Tuns out it's great steemit material.

There are many high quality videos about dissection but in my opinion, a biology (and medicine) student needs to do this at least once. Videos and pictures just don't provide the same amount of knowledge you get while taking the animal apart yourself.

well, I was thinking about the frog dissection happening in middle schools, or was it high schools?

well, idk, we don't do that in school in Germany
