As well as a visit to the Anatomical Museum on January 31st, ticket holders will also be able to attend a talk by author Janet Philp on The Legacy of Burke and Hare: Join Janet as she explores the facts around the tale of Burke and Hare and their supply of bodies to the anatomical establishments in Edinburgh. We will explore how their nefarious activities had a lasting effect on anatomical education that still impacts teaching today. Talks take place at 11:20 - 11:40 and then again at 2:20 - 2:40.
