Not What I'd Fly In For
I’ve just arrived in Denver for a training workshop the first part of the week. On the shuttle to my hotel, there was a couple who had flown in from Seattle just to see the Body Worlds exhibit at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature. A German anatomist has come up with a technique for impregnating tissues and organs with various polymers so as to preserve them for “didactic eternity”. 200 human specimens are being presented at the museum. I never was much of an anatomist—I’ll stick to mapping, thank you!
In other health profession news, it turns out there were dentists 9000 years ago.
- My 15-year-old niece saw that exhibit in LA and loved it. But I’m with you. Yech—!— Doc Rock 11. April 2006, 08:47 Link
