After her postgraduate training in museum studies at Leicester, she became a licensed anatomist and has previously conserved the skeletal remains of the notorious nineteenth century serial killer William Burke, for display at National Museums of Scotland’s exhibition Anatomy: A Matter of Death and Life. Cat regularly gives talks on anatomy and medical history for places such as National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh International Science Festival, London Month of the Dead, The Mütter Museum, Arnos Vale Cemetery, University of Minnesota, Romancing the Gothic, and many others.
