In the early 20th Century, Dr Fritz Kahn created a poster comparing the workings of the human body to a factory – an Industrial Palace. More recently, Henning M Lederer animated this poster and placed it on YouTube. Welcome to “Der Mensch als Industriepalast.”

Ed’s Story: The Dragon Chronicles is a play is based on the clinical care of Ed, a sixteen year-old with advanced cancer, his journal, kept in his last 4 months of life, and follow-up interviews with twenty-five of Ed’s friends, family and health care providers.
A hit at the 2010 Atlantic Fringe Festival and the International Congress on Palliative Care in Montréal, the play has also become a part of Dalhousie’s 2nd year medical curriculum.
A special fundraising performance of Ed’s Story (to facilitate touring the play) will be taking place in the Student Union Building’s McInnis Room on October 12. Details and prices can be found here.
