Join us in the lab to see human anatomy up close and in person!
In this very special half day offering we will give students a chance to see and touch real human specimens from our plastinate and wet specimen collections. By getting to see and touch the anatomy inside all of us, students will have a greater appreciation for how body systems work and how disease processes can happen. Students walk away with a greater sense of awe and wonder for their bodies and encouragement to continue studying life sciences.
Our plastinates are real human specimens created by the makers of Body Worlds that render human tissue perfectly preserved in a dry odorless form that still demonstrates the beauty and intricacies of real anatomy. Wet specimens are the chemically preserved organs and bones that have been collected from some of our cadaver dissections. These include the full organ pack as well as multiple examples of many organs so students can see normal variation as well as pathologies.
Additional 2024 dates coming soon!
