What are Anatomy Nights?

Anatomy Nights started out in Hull, UK as a public outreach event to bring anatomy knowledge to the general public. During an anatomy night, an anatomist talks about a specific organ and then performs a live dissection of that organ - not human: in this case it will be a bovine heart. This year the event is expanding to a new frontier with a global anatomy night - this will be the beginning of the Canadian series of events.
