(All three introduce themselves further on the podcast.) The AVID collection: Guests: Kaden Joseph is a second-year student studying kinesiology at the University of Windsor. His particular interests are anatomy and physiology so working on this project and making a contribution towards better representation in the world of anatomy is something he is extremely proud of! Kaden os part of the team from the University of Windsor creating overview videos to accompany the series of images in the repository. "Contributing towards this project has been an amazing experience and I'm excited about what its future holds and how it will continue to grow."

Her academic interests include the neuroscience of learning, health sciences education (especially anatomy!), and curricular design… to name a few! "Engaging with the AVID Team has been a source of inspiration as each member has brought a unique perspective and passion to the project. Together we are excited to continue improving accessibility to educational resources and positively contributing to increasing diverse representation in anatomy teaching and learning." Elena Huang is a second year medical student at McMaster University and a digital illustrator with the AVID project. Elena grew up with drawing, painting, and sculpting as hobbies, eventually discovering and self-teaching digital illustration. "It has been an amazing experience to be able to combine this with my love for anatomy and medicine in a way that promotes diversity and representation. I hope my contributions will be easily accessible and of use to learners, educators, and of course, anyone passionate about anatomy."
