Trail Blazers

Some portraits of Friday's adventurers. The Bodies students have been very ambitious and hard working.

OSU Orientation

The students explored OSU's campus on Friday. They found their lab where they will work on Bio 113 and 114, and they made it back to us at the Wexner Center to catch the bus.

Inquiring how to build a pump

The students also designed pumps using their physics know-how and a set of basic supplies. They were not given any instructions. It was neat to see them discover ways to make it work.

BioMedical Artists

The students did some heart art this week.

Mystery Crackers

The biomedical class started with a mystery concerning the death of a fictitious 35-year old female. After studying the coroner's report, Andrew, Lili, and Julie cracked the case first. Other teams were close on their tale - one turning in the correct response only 1 minute later.

Well done young biomedical scientists!

Columbus Dispatch Article

The Columbus Dispatch recently visited Bodies in order to talk with us about how the roll-out of this Metro program has gone. It was nice to talk with Jennifer Smith Richards and work with photographer Tom Dodge. The article can be found here:

Coroner's Office

Friday, September 4, we visited the Franklin County Coroner's office. We visited toxicology labs,the pathology lab and watched two autopsies. Many of us that wanted to be forensic scientists have definitely changed our minds.
