About this event

Drop in to meet some medical students

We are delighted to welcome five University of Exeter medical students as they present individual displays and share their research on a range of topics on medical history, including:

– Sir Humphry Davy’s contribution to the development of anaesthesia
– the artist Bryan Pearce’s medical condition and how it affected his art
– health beliefs during the time of the plague, particularly in the village of Eyam
– Leonardo Da Vinci and his studies of anatomy
– the Theory of the Four Humours

No need to book and free of charge.

In partnership with the Cornwall Health Library.
