    Abstract Mixed-reality technology is a powerful tool used in healthcare and medical education to engage students in life-like scenarios. This blend of virtual and augmented reality images incorporates virtual projections with the real environment to allow real-time observation and interaction [1]. While this immersive technology offers advantages over cadaver dissections, it creates new challenges to keeping students engaged [2, 3]. Student engagement improves students' commitment to learning, critical thinking, and motivation and results in successful course outcomes [4, 5]. This paper provides an activity model using the HoloLens mixed-reality technology to deliver human gross anatomy laboratory sessions to first-year osteopathic medical students. The activity was designed using Gagne's model for instructional design and team-based learning to create an active learning model, which targets the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of student engagement [6, 7]: behavioral engagement through autonomy and time on task, emotional engagement through providing the guiding exploration and narrative flow to accompany students' visual experience, and cognitive engagement by incorporating team-based learning (TBL) and case-based learning (CBL). The instructional model also answers the call for a new type of virtual reality instructor and pedagogical strategy that addresses the unique challenges and increases student engagement with this new technology. The effectiveness of this classroom activity was assessed by observing students for indicators or behaviors of student engagement, which are discussed. Further studies are required to measure the extent to which these indicators were exhibited and compare student engagement with this mixed-reality to didactic cadaver-based laboratory sessions.

    Abstract When the social distancing guidelines, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, caused universities to close campuses, there was a rapid shift in the course delivery methods of human gross anatomy laboratory sessions. Courses were delivered online, and this change created new challenges for anatomy faculty to engage students effectively. This profoundly impacted student-instructor interactions, the quality of the learning environment, and successful student outcomes. Because of the importance of student interaction and engagement for hands-on laboratory courses like anatomy, which rely on cadaver dissections and in-person learning communities, as well as the novel opportunity, this qualitative study sought to explore the faculty perspectives of transitioning their in-person laboratory sessions online and unearth their experience with student engagement in this new teaching format. The Delphi technique was used to explore this experience in two rounds of qualitative inquiry using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, identifying codes and building themes. The study utilized indicators of student engagement in online courses to formulate four themes: instructor presence, social presence, cognitive presence, and reliable technology design and access. These were constructed based on the factors faculty used to maintain engagement, new challenges they faced, and strategies deployed to overcome these challenges and engage students in the new learning format. These are supported by strategies such as using video and multimedia, ice-breaker activities, chat and discussion features, immediate and personalized feedback, and virtual meeting via synchronous sessions. These themes highlight important lessons that faculty designing online anatomy laboratory courses can use to guide their course design, and institutions and instructional design faculty can use to inform best practices and faculty development efforts. Additionally, the study calls for further research to design a standardized and global assessment tool that measures student engagement in the online learning environment.

    Abstract Central to this essay is the understanding that varied communities may have an inherent and unrecognised culture of their own and this culture may be detrimental to their core. Bioethics constitutes one such community and is embedded in norms and values comprising its own culture. I use exclusion of religion or simply 'irreligion' as an example of a cultural element that may be established and so shape the culture of bioethics. Irreligious bioethics includes both overt religious preclusion and the more pervasive form of religious marginalisation. This norm is narrated into the culture of bioethics with justifications sustaining it. Irreligious bioethics is inadmissible as it claims illegitimate neutrality, is a misuse of expertise and results in a variety of harms. As bioethics is influential in society, those engaged should be critically reflective and aware of harmful cultural elements whilst also possessing the honesty, courage and capacity to change them.

    Abstract Objective: ENT is underrepresented in the curriculum, and this has been compounded by coronavirus disease 2019. Recent restructures have removed ENT placements from the curriculum. This lack of exposure needs to be addressed, and increased use of online learning represents an opportunity to facilitate this. This study aimed to evaluate whether online learning can effectively deliver undergraduate ENT teaching.
    Methods: An online ENT module was created; content was structured on the Sheffield Medical School curriculum. Pre- and post-module tests and 5-point Likert scales were used to assess student knowledge and confidence, respectively.
    Results: A total of 115 participants were recruited. Test scores improved by 29 per cent (
    Conclusion: This study showed improved knowledge and confidence, whilst highlighting greater efficacy in content over practical skills teaching. Online learning is a validated educational tool; however, it should not be used as a replacement but as an adjunct to supplement learning.

    Abstract As in any endeavor, the strategy applied to a genome project can mean the difference between success and failure. This is especially important when limited funding often means only a single approach may be tried at a given time. Although the advance of all areas of genomics and transcriptomics in recent years has led to an embarrassment of riches, methods in the field have not quite reached the turn-key production status for all species, despite being closer than ever. Here I contrast and compare the technical approaches to genome projects in the hope of enabling strategy choices with higher probabilities of success. Finally, I review the new technologies that are not yet widely distributed which are revolutionizing the future of genomics.

    Abstract Two recent papers highlight the fascinating comparative genomics of anhydrobiosis, the ability to withstand complete desiccation, in bdelloid rotifers and tardigrades. However, both groups had to openly deal with the significant difficulties of generating and interpreting short-read draft assemblies-especially challenging in microscopic species with high sequence polymorphism. These exemplars demonstrate the need to go beyond single draft-quality reference genomes to high-quality multiple species comparative genomics if we are to fully capture the value of genomics.
