DESCRIPTION:Join us during Science Literacy Week for a discussion by schola
 r and author Allister Neher upon themes from his recent book\, Art and Ana
 tomy in Nineteenth-Century Britain. Dr. Neher will discuss how art and ana
 tomy were closely tied during this era\, with anatomists attending drawing
  classes and art students attending lessons in anatomy. Two of the three f
 igures at the centre of Neher’s study are usually known for their connecti
 ons to the medical world: John Bell was an anatomist and surgeon\, and Rob
 ert Carswell was a pathologist. Charles Landseer\, the third figure\, was 
 a famous artist who studied anatomy with Sir Charles Bell\, John Bell’s yo
 unger brother. Some of their works\, which are among the Osler Library hol
 dings\, will be on display at the library and will feature in Dr. Neher’s 
 talk.\n\nNote: This will be a hybrid event\, but we have reached our limit
  for in-person attendance. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged.\n\nPlease
