About

Join us for the "Multiscale Human", a unique online event hosted by CNS in partnership with the Human Reference Atlas team funded by HuBMAP, SenNet, and CIFAR.


From 12:00 PM on December 14 until 12:00 PM on December 15, each hour will introduce a unique topic related to the multiscale mapping of the human body.


Over the course of these 24 hours, scholars and practitioners from around the globe will highlight new maps and models of the human body, demonstrate groundbreaking tools and methodologies, and explore the human body "landscape" across multiple scales. We hope this fun and accessible event will help kickoff the holiday season, share the pleasures of scientific discovery, and create ever more excitement for the power and value of science.
