Science on Tap: Ancient Greek Medical Experiments
Thursday, January 10, 6:30 PM, Radio Artifact,
1660 Blue Rock Street, Cincinnati, OH
Join the monthly Science on Tap program! Ancient Greek doctors had some unusual ideas about how the body functioned. In the Hippocratic corpus, a series of medical treatises from the 4th and 5th centuries BCE, some doctors used analogies and experiments to support their theories and reveal the mysterious inner workings of the body. In this presentation, Science on Tap will explore some of the notable experiments from these texts and consider what these experiments tell us about Greek medicine and the development of scientific thought. Learn more about the speaker and the mission of Science on Tap here.
