Episode notes

Medical science students at Aberdeen benefit from the chance to work with real people's bodies, that have been donated after their death.

Hundreds of people from across north Scotland have signed up to donate their bodies in future - including Beyond Boundaries host Tamsin!

In this episode, Tamsin and Swathi learn about how and when bodies are donated, with the University's Regius Chair of Anatomy Prof Simon Parson.

Aberdeen is ranked 1st in the UK for the study of Anatomy and Physiology in the 2024 Times & Sunday Times Good University Guide.
