Everybody loves a picture round
No matter how many rounds there are in a quiz, it’s usually the picture rounds that tend to go down the best with me. Today I hosted a histology lab-based quiz. Here’s what the quiz’s picture round had to offer: How many do you know off the top of your head?

Cells and their “-plasia”
With so many medical prefixes and suffixes, sometimes a diagrammatic breakdown is very useful where possible, especially when multiple words use the same one. After scouring the internet, I noticed there wasn’t any decent search results for “-plasia” (or “-plastic”), which is a very common suffix used when describing the appearance of cells. So I … Continue reading

A smartphone gadget for micro- and tele-scopes
