About us

I didn’t set out to write about bones. I got my start working in a university anatomy lab, where my job was to clean, label, and prepare skeletal material for teaching. After a while, I realized I was more interested in the bones themselves than anything else in the room—how small differences tell you age, movement, even bits of a person’s life.

This site grew out of the notes I used to keep for myself. I’d jot things down so I wouldn’t forget them—landmarks on a femur, the way certain fractures tend to show up, odd details that don’t always make it into standard textbooks. Over time, those notes turned into longer explanations.

I tend to write about practical anatomy: how bones fit together, how they change over time, and how to recognize them without guessing. Some posts lean a bit into forensic details, others stay basic and visual. It depends on what I’ve been reading or thinking about that week.

Most of my ideas come from old lab habits, reference books I’ve kept, and questions people ask that don’t have simple answers.
