Anatomy on Show

The Department has completed a successful week of public displays, talks, tours and workshops as part of the International Science Festival. The many anatomy-themed events proved very popular with the public.

One of the most popular events was the University’s Science Expo. The opportunity to paint their organs onto a t-shirt proved to be so popular that the Department ran out of t-shirts, not once, not twice, but three times! We look forward to seeing a stunning and colourful display of hearts and other internal organs around the city in the warmer months to come.

Many enthusiastic people, young and old, took part in a variety of workshops, with all ten workshop sessions on offer by the Department being fully booked.
