I don't have a background of science, nor am I an academic by any means. But Prof Black is a personal hero of mine, a real inspiration to me in a small way. When I think something is insurmountable, I think about Sue.
What Susan said about the dignity of human remains for me is also true for animals. Thank you, Prof. Black, I really love your down-to-earth discussions, your Knowledge and the respect for the human remains.
What an interesting interview and what an amazing lady is Prof Sue Black. I don't think I could ever do what she does but I'm so glad that she is there to do it.
Thank you for this opportunity to listen to a very interesting conversation. Prof. Sue Black is an amazing person. She is extremely intelligent and at the same time very humble. The work she is doing is groundbreaking. Specially when it comes to identifying the worst kind of sexual offenders. Again thank you!
What an amazing speaker! I had 3 opportunities to attend medical school, having been accepted on 3 separate occasions at 3 different and excellent universities and medical schools. At each opportunity, something devastating occurred in my family and made returning to university at that time impractical or impossible. I or my children then my husband would have paid too dear a price. But I will admit that I truly hesitated each time because of the anatomy lab. Yet I have become fascinated with this topic SPECIFICALLY because of the work of and presentation by Dr. Sue Black. Having recently become widowed and long been retired, I have been asking myself if it is too late for me to return to school and study Forensic Anthropology. Me. Who was so afraid of the Anatomy Lab. She is just that good! Brilliant in her work and her ability to excite the listener. She would be a BOON to a University for recruiting new generations of future Forensic Anthropology and for creating an environment to have the cream of the crop in every graduating class. A smart university might offer her a generous contract in the recruiting department with a light class load and send her and her family and the occasional post grad student traveling to every corner of the globe, exciting and encouraging new students.
Fascinating interview. I’ve watched Prof Black team for years now on various history programmes and I must just say they in Dundee are absolutely amazing 👏🏼 what a team!! Profs experience is second to none and soooo very interesting to us layman. Thank you for sharing your experience Dame Sue Black, what a legend your family must be very proud of you but I feel it’s not a job it’s a vocation for you so well well done!! Love watching what you do it’s fascinating. THANK YOU!!
When Sue talks about being with her father as he took his last breath and he was then gone, what was left wasn't her dad, that resonated with me so much. I was a nurse for 25 years, mostly working with elderly/hospice care and sat with many people as they passed, usually because their family couldn't get there in time or didn't want to be bothered if their relative passed at night. It's such a strange experience, the thing that makes that person who they are just goes 🤷♀️ I can't explain it, it was a humbling experience
Thank you Sue, you are so knowable, inspirational. You have such humanity. My forensic archaeology professor was horrible cold and clinical, he seemed to have forgotten the subjects, as he put it were people, it put me off the subject.
I would just like to say over the past few weeks. Iv come to. Follower her talks and work. She is a remarkable person she follows the Science. I’m a fan. !!!
I loved biology and would have loved to be taught by Sue Black, although I think I am a tad older than she is. When I go to the doctor because I did anatomy with my biology, I call everything by its correct name and they are always asking if I did medicine but its just a thorough grounding in anatomy. I think I'm as good with equine anatomy as I spent most of my life with horses. I would have loved to do Sue's job or to have at least studied anatomy at a degree level but there was never the call to train for that when I was young.
A great lady , and one genuinely deserving the title ' Dame ' ! Anyone interested in her work , could do worse than read her book , ' All that Remains ' .
My mother in law was the only person in new zeland to have Watermelon Stomach. There were crowds of medicos come to her bed to witness the case when she was in hospital. Also she had 3 kidneys which is apparently not too uncommon. Absorbed twin I guess. But that’s more pathology than anthropology. But def anatomy.
That's really interesting. I have a slightly different stance on the anthro-biological art conversation. If the person has consented to their body being used for something after they die they go for it. I don't hold that for myself. I couldn't care less about what happens to my remains. I won't be around to be bothered by it.

Fasinating subject told by a fasinating woman. Thank you for what you do.
This is all ever so interesting. Iv worked in a mortuary for 17 years and it really has taught me ever so much.
That was such an interesting session. Absolutely riveting.
I SO relate to that antagonistic crap! Sue - we Know you are and always will be the expert! GOD BLESS YOU , YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR WORK!
Your daughter will be a great lawyer! she will have learnt so much good work ethic and skill from you.
