About me
including a photo I like
Alun Williams is Head of Department of Pathology and Infectious Diseases, The Royal Veterinary College, University of London. He graduated from Glasgow University Veterinary School (BVMS) in 1985 and after a short time in practice undertook investigations of the pathogenesis of Streptococcus suis type 2 meningitis in the pig at Department of Clinical Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, leading to the award of PhD (1989). Alun then studied the pathogenesis of Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis in children at University Department of Paediatrics, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford before moving to BBSRC/MRC Neuropathogenesis Unit, Edinburgh in 1990. He was appointed Senior Lecturer (1997) and then Reader (2000)at University of Glasgow Veterinary School and moved to Royal Veterinary College in 2003.
What I hope to get out of this project
a UK-wide (at first) on-line learning environment in veterinary pathology for undergraduate veterinary students, other science-based students and post-graduate students
My best learning experience
multiplication bingo
and why it was good
interactive learning in 1970s that was fun - and a forerunner of so much of today's learning philosophies
Pathology that interests me
mechanisms of death and destruction....and how cells/tissues/organs/whole animals combat it
Pathology that is difficult
pardon.....can't be difficult if I can do it (unconsciously competent?) - that's true:-)
