Wunderbar! Are you familiar with synthetic meat / meat substitute / meat analogue / meat alternative / imitation meat by any chance? Yes, yes, synthetic meat.

In the 1800s, major breakthroughs in medical technology and the understanding of disease led to the development of vaccines for some of humanity’s most deadly illnesses: smallpox, rabies, diphtheria, and tetanus. In China and many African countries, the traditional practice of smallpox inoculation informed the work of Edward Jenner, Louis Pasteur and others, as they experimented with weakened and less deadly viruses to trick the body into producing immunity. You may have heard of Jenner and

Few things say ‘doctor’ more than a stethoscope. Even in the modern medical field, which can be regarded as highly vision-based (imaging, scanning, observing), the stethoscope remains a powerful medical tool and an iconic symbol of past traditions. Above all, the stethoscope represents a deep and enduring relationship between medical practice and sound. During my time as a practicum student for Ingenium, I worked on developing a research profile of the museum’s stethoscope collection, focusing

Do you remember seeing The Amazing Potato exhibition when it was presented at the National Museum of Science of Technology, in Ottawa, Ontario (1991-94), or at the Agriculture Museum, also in Ottawa (1994-2000), my reading friend? No? You saw it at the Potato Museum, in O’Leary, Prince Edward Island, after that date, between 2000 and 2012 perhaps? Wunderbar! It was a great exhibition, was it not? Need I mention that all of these museal institutions are now, in 2021, known by other monikers? Yes
