We also visited the exhibition @dundeeuni "Bodies, Botanicals & Bindings: Reimagining Rare Books", where we saw the wonderful "Vivitur Ingenio" skeleton by Vesalius (1568 edition), which was discussed in #AH5163 class (also in #AH4236)

Back to @LifeSpaceDundee, it was interesting to see, upstairs, this work by Nicholas Wade: NOSolution (1999). As indicated there, embedded in the picture is the face of researcher Salvador Moncada. #AH5163
