Cosmos Science City: Mysteries of the Human Body
2024-02-06 12:30 - 13:30 | The Science Exchange, 55 Exchange Place, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
Each month, Cosmos Science City brings together Adelaide’s brightest academics and scientists to hold conversations with a live audience about issues of the day. This month we are talking about the human body.
For thousands of years, scientists have sought to unravel the mysteries of the human anatomy by dissecting bodies. Indeed, the oldest surviving anatomical atlas written more than 2,000 years ago!
While our research methods have evolved, our fascination with how the human body works remains.
Join February’s panel of researchers as they discuss innovative approaches and best practice in anatomy education, how studying worm brains can help us unravel some of the mysteries of the human body, and what happens when a body is donated to science.
