Pop Culture Anatomy (faculty talk)

Using superheroes to teach human anatomy

Pop culture includes icons from movies, television shows, books and comic. It showcases anatomy and medicine through inaccurate dramatizations, or anatomical modifications are justified as "fantasy elements" and not explained using current anatomic knowledge. This talk will focus on incorporating student interests into a traditional science course and the research supporting the use of pop culture characters as case studies in science class. 

This Faculty Talks Outside the Box presentation is free and open to the public.
