As President Bush breaks records as the most unpopular president since the advent of approval ratings (with an impressive 76% disapproval rating), President-elect Obama is en route to turn the beat around at the White House. One of my favorite quotes from his acceptance speech: "And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too."
Rock Your Body: done.
I paid a visit to Houston's Museum of Natural Science to see Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS 2 & The Brain – Our Three Pound Gem: The Original Exhibition of Real Human Bodies. Though I saw Bodyworlds 1 back in 2006, this trip provided an entirely different experience. Not only did I have (some of) the vocabulary to describe what I saw, but I had an even greater appreciation for the quality of the specimens and their beautiful, illustrative display our bodies' inner workings just under the keratinized stratified squamous epithelium of our multifunctional skin. Since my class went as a large group, anatomy buzzwords were flying about the room as we giddily dissected the exhibits with the scalpel of our eyes. However, it doesn't take an interest in medicine or even a passionate love for anatomy to appreciate the awe-inspiring intricacies of the human body through the curatorial masterpiece of Bodyworlds. Go see for yourself!
