Summary
Health education is lacking in most school systems, to the extent that most high school graduates can’t name 10 muscles in their own bodies. Anatomical learning has historically been seen as boring, complex, and difficult to make relevant. Today, things have changed, thanks to 3D software, inexpensive models, and cadaver dissections freely available around the world. On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet an online educator reaching millions monthly with anatomy and physiology videos using real human cadavers.
You'll learn:
- How cadavers are donated and used ethically (or not) in science
- The anomalous nature of all of our bodies
- Why real human bodies are still an invaluable resource in learning
- How to use LLMs / AI to advance your learning
