<p>For those going to Chicago on the 21 -22 visit, I highly recommend stopping by the Museum of Science & Industry (about 8 blocks east of the campus) to see the exhibit “Body Worlds.” Though the museum closes at 4 PM, the exhibit stays open until 9 PM. Here is the link that describes the exhibit <a href=“http://www.msichicago.org/bodyworlds/index.html[/url]”>http://www.msichicago.org/bodyworlds/index.html</a>. It is quite amazing. From the web site:</p>
<p>“The exhibition features more than 200 authentic human specimens, including entire bodies, individual organs and transparent body slices that have been preserved through the process of plastination, a technique that replaces bodily fluids and fat. BODY WORLDS offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see and understand our own physiology and health and to gain new appreciation and respect for what it means to be human.”</p>
