Nearly all of your hard-working undergraduate team are in Zagreb, Croatia, for the annual meeting of the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE). The theme of this years meeting is Career Development in Dental Education. We have been hard at work attending lectures and workshops and networking with colleagues from the other dental schools across Europe and beyond.
Those who did physics at school will be familiar with the measurement of magnetic flux density, the Tesla. Nikola Tesla, a Serb, is honoured in Zagreb. Also known to many who remember the 1980s group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) and their song, Tesla Girls (watch it here).
And here he is again with two other great scientists!

No single use endodontic files here!

Did you know Dr Grey does a bit of bird-spotting… ask him about his experiences in Zagreb.
And on the subject of Dr Grey, his favourite song by Robbie Williams, altogether now, “And through it all…..” Angels outside the cathedral in Zagreb. As you can see the weather was awful.
