Title: Planes of Folding: The Embryo Mushroom

Description:

Join Dr Karen Kirkness for a light-hearted romp through the main stages of embryonic folding to see how the embryo ‘mushrooms’ its way into form. Bring some paper and pens to fold along with Karen to make the most out of this active learning experience. This presentation is designed to support learners who are relatively new to the study of embryology and is suitable for all levels. Prepare to be inspired by the incredible, multidimensional origami of our earliest moments of life! The takeaways: participants will understand the two classical axes of embryonic folding and will bridge the gap between this two-dimensional grid and the omnidirectional action of folding in the round.

Please bring:  Paper and pens/coloured pencils.  Any kind of paper and pens will do.

Karen Kirkness NEW July 24

Dr Karen Kirkness holds her doctorate in medical sciences with a focus on complexity and anatomy pedagogy. She has published numerous academic papers and book chapters and is the author of Spiral Bound: Integrated Anatomy for Yoga, a multidisciplinary approach to understanding how spirality is expressed in human movement. She codifies this spirality as the Five Filaments, a spiral motion rubric based on the multidimensional, chiral, filamentous morphologic constraints of fascia. As an experienced teacher of movement, she aims to hone the therapeutic experience of movement by emphasising the importance of "going with the spiral grain of nature". Karen lives with her husband and their two young kids in the Scottish Borders.
