About the Session
From an enormous protein structure to plaster casts of chicken heads, students will see models spanning different scientific fields, dating from the 18th century to the 20th. They will learn about the importance of models in scientific investigations and discoveries over time. They will explore molecular models, find out how maps model the world and think about how anatomical models change our perception of the body and medicine.
