Event:

We are happy to announce a special guest and a slightly different kind of talk in our open lecture series: On January 22nd, we will welcome Sabine Hildebrandt, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. She teaches anatomy and the history and ethics of anatomy, with a focus on Nazi Germany.
In her talk, hosted by our director Elisabeth Binder, she will give a short account of anatomy in Nazi Germany, followed by an outline of the tangible and intangible legacies from this history and implications for anatomy today. Anatomy presents an example of ethical transgressions by scientists and health care professionals that were amplified in the criminal political climate of the Nazi regime. This can happen anywhere, as science is never apolitical. This also applies to psychiatric research, and we are sure that this will be a very insightful presentation for all biomedical researchers.

More details on the talk and Prof. Hildebrandt can be found on our website.
This talk is open to all and we look forward to seeing you there.
