Ever wondered about the last surgery people may have?
Autopsies remain the best way of finding out why someone died, but it’s not always the way it’s shown on TV. In this interactive event, you’ll have a chance to watch a virtual autopsy and talk to the people who perform the procedure. Come and find out how autopsies help doctors understand more about disease and provide information that benefits future generations.
Supported by The Royal College of Pathologists

But what happens if we ignore our natural rhythms, and what are the effects of our increasingly 24/7 society? Come along to find out all you need to know about your biological clock.

What on Earth Evolved?
The complete story of life on Earth as seen through the lens of 100 species that changed the world
From slime moulds, to chickens, to bananas – which are the most successful species to have evolved in the wild, and what has thrived as a result of man’s interference? Join author Christopher Lloyd, as he tells the story of life on Earth as seen through the lens of 100 species that changed the world.
Christopher Lloyd is author of the ‘What on Earth?’ series. ‘What on Earth Evolved? 100 Species that Changed the World’ is the second in a series of three ‘What on Earth?’ books.
