Alice Roberts (BBC2's Coast, The Incredible Human Journey) talks about her latest project, The Complete Human Body.
Dr Alice Roberts (BBC2's Coast, The Incredible Human Journey) talks about her latest project, The Complete Human Body. Using the latest in medical and microscopic imaging to illustrate the development, form, function and disorders of the body, this event will show you the human body as you’ve never seen it before.
We inhabit it, we are it, and we are surrounded by 6.8 billion examples of it on our planet - the human body. Some parts of it are still mysteries to science and much is a mystery to the average person on the street, but we have come a long way from the sketches and anatomists in Ancient Greece. New medical procedures and imaging techniques allow 'access all areas', revealing incredible detail and providing a much deeper understanding of how our bodies work.
Alice discusses how these amazing images were created, and the challenges of producing images to accurately reflect the complexity of the human body.
