På Trapholt kan du stadig nå at se udstillingen BENANDSEBASTIAN – PHANTOM LIMBS. Benandsebastian fik lov at låne en fin gammel fodprotese fra slutningen af 1800-tallet.

Tale fra Udstillingsåbningen 3. oktober 2012: “Om lidt åbner vi dørene til udstillingen Fedme – hvad er problemet? Men inden vil jeg gerne lige sige et par ord om, hvad det er for en udstilling, og hvordan den er blevet til.”

Mandag den 29. oktober afholder vi et møde på Panum om sociale medier i medicinsk forskning og praksis. Sociale medier har erobret samfundet.
