Remains to be SeenAuthor: Jeff Aziz
We know where the bodies are hidden. An anatomy professor, an English professor, and a future med student talk about the history of the human body in medicine, anatomy, and culture. Topics discussed may include medical museums, anatomical grave-robbing, organ transplantation, disability studies, unusual bodies, prosthetics, implants, body modification...whatever catches our interest (and we are interested in some rather odd things).

RTBS 02 03 "COVID-19: Rhetorics of Infection, Resources of Resistance"
Episode 3
Wednesday, 29 April, 2020
In this episode, we join forces with Pitt’s Center for Bioethics & Health Law to present a special Medical Humanities Mondays panel discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic. Mari Webel of Pitt’s Department of History, Lisa S. Parker of the Center for Bioethics & Health Law, and our own Jake Dechant of Pitt’s School of Nursing address the problems of understanding and dealing with a crisis in which we must always act on partial knowledge, filtering that from a tumult of questionable information and disinformation. We discuss the naming of epidemics, the sacrifices of healthcare workers, the pitfalls of modeling, and our favorite sources of reliable information in this wide-ranging discussion.
