Temporal Bone Workshop Series Evidence Register

GeNext MedEd Foundation — Temporal Bone Workshop Series Evidence Register

Document code: GMEF-ARC-TB-001  
Version: 1.0  
Status: Controlled historical recovery register  
Scope: GeNext / predecessor temporal-bone hands-on workshop series, Series 1–5

Purpose
This register reconstructs the temporal-bone workshop sequence from retained source material while clearly separating directly evidenced facts from sequence inference and unresolved gaps. It must not convert later recollection into a verified historical claim.

Evidence classes
- Class A — contemporaneous primary evidence: original poster/programme/certificate/photo clearly identifying the event/date/role.
- Class B — source-supported institutional evidence: later institutional document or compilation based on retained programme records.
- Class C — reconstructed / inference pending: sequence or detail inferred from later material but not yet independently evidenced.

Series master register

| Series ID | Sequence | Event/date currently recoverable | Evidence status | Evidence recovered | Outstanding evidence |
|---|---:|---|---|---|---|
| GMEF-ARC-TB-01 | 1 | Date not yet recovered | Class C — open recovery | Later GeNext material establishes that a multi-event temporal-bone series existed and that a fifth event was held by Jan 2026. | Original poster/programme, date, venue, faculty, participant/certificate record, photographs |
| GMEF-ARC-TB-02 | 2 | Date not yet recovered | Class C — open recovery | Same series-continuity evidence as above. | Original poster/programme, date, venue, faculty, participant/certificate record, photographs |
| GMEF-ARC-TB-03 | 3 (probable sequence position) | 10–11 May 2025 — Two Day Wet Temporal Bone | Class A for event/date; sequence number remains Class C until an ordinal-bearing source is recovered | Dated GeNext workshop page with contemporaneous lab photographs and group photograph. | Source explicitly calling this the 3rd course; faculty/participant/certificate register; venue confirmation |
| GMEF-ARC-TB-04 | 4 (probable sequence position) | 2–3 August 2025 — Two Day Wet Temporal Bone | Class A for event/date; sequence number remains Class C until an ordinal-bearing source is recovered | Dated GeNext workshop page with hands-on temporal-bone lab photographs, microscope stations and teaching images. | Source explicitly calling this the 4th course; faculty/participant/certificate register; venue confirmation |
| GMEF-ARC-TB-05 | 5 | 17–18 January 2026 — 5th Two Day Wet Temporal Bone | Class A — sequence and date established | Event page explicitly states “5TH TWO DAY WET TEMPORAL BONE” and 17–18 Jan 2026, with audience, faculty/recognition and hands-on lab photographs. | Programme/faculty list, participant register and certificate evidence if retained |

Recovered primary evidence

GMEF-ARC-TB-03 — 10–11 May 2025
Recovered source imagery shows:
- title TWO DAY WET TEMPORAL BONE;
- dates 10th–11th May 2025;
- hands-on microscope-based dissection activity;
- faculty instruction at workstations;
- a separate group photograph from the event.

Claim allowed now: A GeNext-branded two-day wet temporal-bone workshop was conducted on 10–11 May 2025.  
Claim not yet allowed: “3rd workshop” unless an original source carrying the ordinal is recovered.

GMEF-ARC-TB-04 — 2–3 August 2025
Recovered source imagery shows:
- title TWO DAY WET TEMPORAL BONE;
- dates 2nd–3rd August 2025;
- multiple microscope workstations;
- active hands-on dissection and faculty supervision;
- participant teaching/discussion photographs.

Claim allowed now: A GeNext-branded two-day wet temporal-bone workshop was conducted on 2–3 August 2025.  
Claim not yet allowed: “4th workshop” unless an original source carrying the ordinal is recovered.

GMEF-ARC-TB-05 — 17–18 January 2026
Recovered source imagery explicitly shows:
- 5TH TWO DAY WET TEMPORAL BONE;
- dates 17th–18th January 2026;
- audience/teaching activity;
- recognition/faculty interaction imagery;
- microscope-based hands-on dissection photographs and lab activity.

Claim allowed now: The 5th GeNext two-day wet temporal-bone workshop was held on 17–18 January 2026.

Series continuity assessment
The explicit “5TH” January 2026 source proves at least four earlier events existed. The dated May and August 2025 workshop sources are therefore part of the pre-5th sequence. Chronologically they are strong candidates for Series 3 and Series 4, but this register deliberately keeps those ordinal assignments probable rather than verified until a direct ordinal-bearing source is recovered.

Unresolved Series 1–2 recovery protocol
Search and retain, in priority order:
1. original WhatsApp/poster/social artwork containing “1st/2nd Two Day Wet Temporal Bone” or equivalent;
2. event photographs with visible backdrop/date/ordinal;
3. faculty invitation / scientific programme;
4. registration spreadsheet or participant list;
5. certificates or certificate serial register;
6. institutional accounts/vendor records linked to event dates;
7. social-media posts with original publication timestamps;
8. mentor/faculty correspondence used only as corroboration, not sole proof.

Archive publication rule
The public archive may currently publish the following without qualification:
- Two Day Wet Temporal Bone — 10–11 May 2025;
- Two Day Wet Temporal Bone — 2–3 August 2025;
- 5th Two Day Wet Temporal Bone — 17–18 January 2026.

The public archive should not yet label May 2025 as “3rd” or August 2025 as “4th,” and should not invent Series 1–2 dates until source evidence is recovered.

Next evidence lock
When a source for Series 1 or 2 is recovered, record:
- exact title and ordinal;
- event dates;
- venue/institution;
- academic authority/organiser as shown on the source;
- named faculty only where directly evidenced;
- participant count only from a retained register;
- certificate serial range where available;
- source filename/reference and rights/privacy status.
