I had the most fun talking to
about her new book Replaceable You: Adventures in Anatomy. Mary does a fabulous job of describing the weird and wonderful science of the human body with her wry humor and attention to detail. She takes us on a journey through the many creative ways humans have tried and are trying to upgrade our bodies. While some of the techniques used today are novel (xenotransplant, anyone?), I was struck by the long history of a few procedures still being done every day in operating rooms around the world (rotational skin flaps and free flaps).*Unfortunately, my internet was a bit buggy (thanks, Silicon Valley!), so the video quality on my end is a bit sus.
Mary is on tour with this fabulous book, and you can see her in a city near you! If you can make it to any of these, I highly recommend it. Mary is funny and fun, interested and interesting!
