PEPTALK | After Death: A Life for Science

The language of this event is Dutch.

This PEP Talk focuses on the remarkable human body, but after death.

Fred van Immerseel, scientific preparator at LUMC, will tell us about his encounters with the Grim Reaper and what it’s like to work with unknown deceased individuals. Is it unsettling? Or perhaps even calming in some way? We will learn more about what it means to donate your body to science. Quite beautiful, really.

PEP Talks are short lunchtime lectures at LUMC. Each month, an LUMC researcher sheds light on an interesting and timely topic. Everyone is welcome to attend the talks. PEP stands for “patients and personnel,” as well as anyone else who is interested.
