incredibly cool exhibit in LA

If you find yourself in Los Angeles before February, be sure to stop by the Science Museum (on USC campus) and check out the BodyWorlds exhibit

I spent half the day there as was totally amazed at the quality of the plastination and the choice of dissections to reveal various anatomical features. Highlights included:

 

a very muscular basketball player

 

an 8-month pregnant woman

 

plastinations of just vascular structures (they inject the plastic stuff into the vessels, and once it hardens, they apply various processes to corrode/remove the surrounding tissues, leaving just the plastic molded to the blood vessels)

Wow...thanks for the heads up. I'll be in So Cal next week - I'll definitely try to make it.
