Evening Consultation: How Animals Can Help Medicine is an evening talk held at the Medical Museion in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 19 November at 19:00. It is a conference-style event that brings the question of animal research into a museum setting in the city centre, where visitors can hear the discussion in an evening format.
What the talk explores
The evening looks at how studying animals, from tiny ants to large marine mammals, can contribute to new medicines and a better understanding of the human body. Its questions are concrete ones. Could ants be key to new antibiotics? Can marine mammals help explain the body's healing processes? The programme is built around these lines of inquiry rather than a single answer.
Who it suits
- Visitors curious about how biology and medicine connect
- Students and anyone with an interest in animal research
- Those who enjoy a focused evening talk rather than a long visit
The Medical Museion is at Bredgade 62, 1260 København K, within easy reach of the historic centre of Copenhagen. Visitors planning an evening here can combine the talk with a walk through the surrounding streets and the city's many restaurants and cafés.
