Ilya Kolmanovsky. “The Heart: The Engine In Our Body”
Event Description
A family show by renowned science communicator, biologist, educator, and science journalist Ilya Kolmanovsky, dedicated to the most essential, hardest-working, and romanticized organ — the heart.
On the eve of Valentine’s Day, we’ll gather in the anatomical theatre! Through a video tour, all participants of this interactive show will have the chance to witness and study the dissection of a REAL bovine heart, exploring its valves and ventricles.
We’ll dive into numerous vital questions:
- Why does the heart have valves?
- 100,000 beats per day — is that a lot or a little?
- How can you measure your pulse using marshmallows?
- How many kilometres of blood vessels are in our body?
- What happens during a heart attack, and how do doctors save lives in such cases?
The lecturer recommends that children attend with their parents! They’ll find it fascinating too.
Language: English.
