== What I hope to get out of this project ==
 
This is an exciting time for veterinary education and I hope by exploring the use of web 2.0 technologies we can find out a lot about what it is good for and what it isn't. I also hope that this is the start of something big!
 
 
== My best learning experience ==
 
 
Probably seeing 'real' disease in the post mortem room and then linking it to what is written in standard texts. It's all about 'making it real'!
 
 
== Pathology that interests me ==
 
 
All of it really - (apart from bone pathology.....)
 
General diagnostics and research pathology (infectious disease, nuclear transfer related pathology)
 
 
== Pathology that is difficult ==
 
 
Bone<br />
 
CNS<br />
 
Defining the histogenesis of poorly differentiated tumours<br />
 
Cases that don't read the textbooks
