Episode 195: Anna Dhody Part 2 - From Curator To Creator: Building The Dhody Research Institute


Listen Later

Anna Dhody is back for Part 2 of our conversation. 

What we discuss in Part 2:

  • How the pandemic prompted the Mutter Museum to increase its online presence, leading to a virtual tour that garnered over a million views.  
  • A significant event during this time was the donation of a human heart from a living donor, Rob, who wanted to contribute to the museum after receiving a heart transplant.
  • Anna filmed an unboxing video of the heart, which unexpectedly went viral, attracting a wide audience and generating interest in the museum.

  • The success of the heart unboxing led to a series of educational videos about the preservation and display of biological specimens.

  • Anna's videos fostered a community where viewers shared personal stories and experiences related to medical conditions, leading to increased awareness and support.

  • After leaving the museum, Anna founded the Dhody Research Institute to continue her work in science communication and education.

  • The institute aims to increase accessibility to medical and scientific information and inspire young people to explore STEM careers.

  • Anna is developing new video series, including "What's That For?" which invites viewers to guess the purpose of medical objects and learn their stories.

  • The Dhody Research Institute is running a fundraising campaign to support the production of more educational content.

  • Anna emphasized the importance of educating young people to become informed citizens and critical thinkers in today's world.
