Today our 7th graders had the experience of dissecting a sheep brain at SLU's A.I.M.S Program. Adventures in Medicine and Science (AIMS) is an outreach program of Saint Louis University that combines hands-on programs, auditorium presentations and distance learning to bring lessons of anatomy and science to life for students across the country and the world. They learned about all the parts, and what they do from Brain Surgeon Dr. Young.
