In conjunction with the exhibit, Body of Knowledge: A History of Anatomy, at the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments the museum presents a lecture and exhibition viewing with a talk by David Jones and Dominic Hall of Harvard Medical School. Throughout 500 years of human dissection, anatomists have struggled to maintain access to cadavers amid shifting laws and social mores. This lecture will chronicle the legal and ethical tensions involved in obtaining cadavers and how practices have changed over time.
