Farewell to dinosaurs and space capsules – and welcome to medical collections. Medical Museion welcomes Abdi Hedayat as its new Head of Collections and Conservation.

We are seeking artists interested in collaborating on the creation of a new commissioned artwork that will be included in an upcoming exhibition about stem cells.

Medical Museion and CBMR are looking for a curious, creative Postdoc to join us to investigate the role of communicating disciplinary values and goals in interdisciplinary science. The project is part of a wider research theme investigating contemporary discourse about ‘research culture’, initiatives being undertaken to improve it, historical origins, and how creative and communication activities can help support better collaboration.

This blog celebrates the official launch of our new collaborative science comic Tales from the Chronobiology Lab in collaboration with the NFF Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR). Developed and produced by illustrator Sofie Louise Dam, myself and scientists from CBMR, the comic is an experiment in communicating the science of circadian rhythms with the public.

From 2018 to 2023, I have been part of the metabolic objects project at Medical Museion. As the project has now ended, in this blog post I want to reflect a bit on the twists and turns of the project and revisit some of the core ideas that developed along the way.

A doctor, a beauty founder, an architect, a chef, and a historian looked at the junction where medicine, wellbeing, and the built environment intersect.
