About this Event
Come and learn about your heart, what it looks like, how it works and why it's so important.
Get involved and decorate your own anatomical heart. Will it be anatomically accurate, or a multi-coloured work of art?
Jennifer Paxton (BSc, Msc, PhD, FAS) is a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Head of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. When she isn't teaching the complexities of the human body, or researching ways to build new body parts, she enjoys inspiring the next generation of scientists through her children's anatomy books and interactive outreach events.
