Seventeen UWGB students get Plastinarium experience in Germany


Human Biology Profs. Donna Ritch and Amanda Nelson guided a group of 17 UW-Green Bay students on a study tour of Germany recently including a week at the famous “Plastinarium” in the city of Guben. (The Plastinarium is the place that produces the BodyWorks exhibit familiar to American museum-goers, made possible by techniques engineered there to preserve tissue and vital organs for anatomical display.) The two professors were interviewed by the local newspaper.
