OHSU and OMSI are hosting a series of insightful and provocative lectures in conjunction with the BODY WORLDS 3 exhibit. Before and after each lecture there will be time for attendees to talk to the experts, as well as visit the resource fair displays in the lobby and Great Hall of the auditorium.

Te lecture series will present OHSU experts discussing the latest break-throughs in health and medicine for all Oregonians — children, teens, adults, and seniors. Anyone who is interested in the most current health research information and how it can change each and every Oregonian should attend. No pre-registration is required.

Resource Fair in lobby and Great Hall – one hour before and after talks

Four thousand middle- and high-school students from rural and under-served parts of Oregon will visit Port-land this fall for an extraordinary health sciences learning opportunity. Science in the City is a one-time-only overnight program featuring close engagement with the entire BODY

WORLDS 3 exhibit, as well as related, school-based instruction provided by health science educators. Created in partnership by OMSI and OHSU, Sci-ence in the City seeks to inspire a broad and diverse audience of young students from across the state.

Descend Upon Portland

A day in the life of the human body: im-pulses in the brain clock in at 250 mph; hairs in the ear, 1/10,000th the thickness of a strand of hair on our heads, quiver as they facilitate hearing; and a red blood cell races through 100 miles of veins, ar-teries, and capillaries.

Discover the story beneath the skin in Te Human Body, a giant-screen flm that is a dramatic combination of live action, computer-generated graphics, microscopy, the latest medical imaging, and cutting-edge cinematic techniques. Te result is a flm that helps us under-stand the biological changes experienced by a real family.

In astonishing detail, this large for-mat flm presents a look at the biologi-cal processes that go on without our control, and often without our notice. Troughout the flm, we follow a family from dawn to dusk as they go about their daily routines. But this is no ordinary story. Tis is the tale of what takes place beneath the skin—a tale that allows us to see the extraordinary accomplishments of our everyday lives.

Te flm is co-produced by Discovery Pictures/BBC, in conjunction with the Maryland Science Center and the Sci-ence Museum, London.
