The reason is that it's required for some podcast outlets. And for those of us who are hearing impaired, it works better because a low-volume podcast sometimes can't be turned up enough for us to hear it.     2 | AAA Supports Transcripts for This Podcast 2 minutes The American Association of Anatomists (AAA or "triple-A") is now sponsoring the searchable transcripts available with episodes of this podcast.

This chat touches on the value of respect and appreciation of human donors, proper implementation of human remains such as skeletons in A&P courses, and how that respect should extend to reproductions of human specimens. This is the first of two conversations with Aaron Fried. The next episode (Episode 30) will delve more deeply into the anatomy illustrations produced by anatomists in Nazi Germany and the many ethical questions surrounding their continued use in anatomy labs around the world. https://www.mvccanatomy.org/ (Aaron Fried's website) professoranatomeme (Aaron Fried's Instagram) The Anatomist (book by Bill Hayes about Henry Gray and illustrator Henry Vandyke Carter; from the TAPP Book Club) History & Culture Mini Lesson (part of Kevin's course outline that explores issues of using human bodies in anatomy)   If the hyperlinks here are not active, go to TAPPradio.org to find the episode page.
