WHAT:

People are invited to explore the Integrative Anatomy open house at the University of Missouri School of Medicine for this year’s Dinosaurs and Cavemen Science Expo. Children and adults alike can investigate dinosaur fossils; visit with their human ancestors; see 3D printing in action; and learn about their own anatomy. People can also meet local paleontologists and anatomists to learn how anatomy teaches us about the past, and improves today’s human health through research and education.
