On NTYCTWD the Museum will be on the go--we've been invited to participate in the NIH at Fishers Lane program of activities for kids age 7-15. Archie Fobbs will engage the kids in fun ways to learn about brain anatomy; Gwen Nelmes will talk about the museum profession by describing activities and collections of the museum, including a hands-on experience with plastinated organs and a Civil War amputation demonstration (any volunteers??); and Andrea Schierkolk will lead a forensics mystery workshop where participants will learn how much information can be gleaned from examining bones of an unidentified individual.
The National Museum of Health and Medicine collaborates with NIH on numerous scientific and public outreach projects, including Brain Awareness Week, the Human Cardiac Development Atlas, The Visible Embryo, and the Virtual Embryo Atlas of Histology.
