Paul Detwiler recently produced a 9-minute video that provides marine biology teachers with an overview of a dissection of the market squid Loligo opalescens. The video is freely available online at www.kendallhunt.com/detwiler It is a narrated version of the video presentation shown during my workshop Ultimate Squid Dissection at the 2010 NMEA conference in Gatlinburg, TN in July. The purpose of the video is to illustrate the squid’s external and internal anatomical structures so that teachers are confident and able to lead and assist their students in dissecting this species in the classroom. Anyone who missed the workshop can access the presentation materials at http://www.nmeaweb.org/gatlinburg2010/ and click on the “Schedule” link on the left side of the page, then scroll to Weds.
