Episode 11- Dr Francis Osis

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow Episode 11

This week’s guest is Francis Osis. Francis has recently completed his doctorate looking into 18th century scientists and how they perceived sex and venereal diseases, using anatomical specimens to do so. We have worked with Francis before at several outreach events, including our Night at the Museum of Anatomy events. In this episode we chat about whether science is truly objective, extracting DNA from historical specimens, and the Derwent Pencil Museum!
