In a Heartbeat

A family science workshop all about the human heart. It looks at what it does, how it works and how it manages to push so much of your glorious blood around your system!

Each session offers the opportunity to take part in a Pod show inside our cell-shaped Pod, suspended over the laboratories of the Blizard Institute. Once inside, you will learn about the amazing world of cells, the human body and the latest medical research. You can try your hand at virtual experiments, heal extensive virtual burns and have your cells counted. You also get to see real body parts and diagnose cancer using high-power microscopes.
