In this free exhibition, we鈥檒l be investigating where they came from, and the extraordinary things we have learned from them.[[{"fid":"5543","view_mode":"xl","fields":{"format":"xl","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Dog nose","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"xl","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Dog nose","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"link_text":null,"attributes":{"height":"640","width":"960","class":"media-element file-xl"}}]]The exhibition will include a wide range of objects exploring archaeology, art, zoology and the history of science, and will feature stories from cutting-edge research taking place at University College London that investigates 'Ordinary Animals' in the wider contexts of culture and the environment.

The Museum鈥檚 Curator, Liz Blanks, selected a suitable brain specimen from the large educational collection at the Museum, which she accompanied to the Royal Institution Lecture Theatre for filming in early December.This year鈥檚 Lectures, 鈥楾he Truth about AI鈥�, are led by Professor Mike Woolridge, who explores this rapidly evolving technology and the science behind it. The first lecture opens with Woolridge standing in front of the specimen: 鈥淎nd our story starts with this. This is a human brain. Of all the wonders in the universe, this is the greatest. Forget about black holes and neutron stars and supernovas - you are looking at the most incredible thing in all of creation.鈥� Using the Museum鈥檚 brain as a visual aid, Woolridge explains how the human brain is the starting point from which AI has developed, demonstrating how artificial neural networks are inspired by human ones. Liz Blanks, Curator of 香港六合彩中特网 Science Collections, said: 鈥淚t was a challenge to find the right specimen that met the programme鈥檚 requirements as most of the collection is pathological in nature, but thanks to our comprehensive collection of 8,000 medical specimens, we were pleased to be able to help. The filming and transportation of the brain specimen was a unique and memorable experience, and we are delighted to share a tiny part of our collection with a national audience.鈥漑[{"fid":"9307","view_mode":"large","fields":{"format":"large","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Colour photo of human specimens in clear plastic boxes on a shelf","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"large","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Colour photo of human specimens in clear plastic boxes on a shelf","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"attributes":{"height":"3744","width":"5616","class":"media-element file-large"}}]]Historically, this style of specimen-based teaching, paid tribute to in the RI鈥檚 lecture, was the predominant educational tool for medical students. The 香港六合彩中特网 Pathology Museum, which has specimens dating back to the 1820s, remains an important teaching collection owing to its size and variety, and many specimens are now of historical research significance. The full Royal Institution Christmas Lectures are available on BBC iPlayer.
