On the afternoon of the 20th of May we will be hosting a special edition of Tech Talk, organised by Leiden Bio Science Park. And what better subject to tackle than that of our current temporary exhibit.

'Unseen' reveals how, for centuries, medical science has taken the male body as the norm, often overlooking women and gender-diverse individuals. Today, luckily, things are changing. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on innovative approaches and practical applications regarding women’s health.

Six experts in the field will get just 10 minutes to present their groundbreaking work. You can also visit the exhibit ‘Unseen’, and join us for drinks afterwards to continue the inspired discussions.
