What an experience❗️
Managed to visit what once was the great Prof Dr Rudolf Virchow’s lab and pathology institute. Among one of his request to come to Berlin when the university invited him over. Imagine that, he was that famous then that he requested a lab and it was granted 😊
Professor Virchow was an amazing individual. All I can remember is Virchow’s triad which is related to blood clots (thrombosis- a word he coined) which can flake off and lead to a block in another place ie an emboli ( he coined this too). In this museum I found out that he was a physician, public health specialist, anthropologist and also a politician/statesmen apart from his main interest - Pathology ❗️❗️❗️
Sharing with all of you his buat, lab, institution and also the lecture hall where he use to lecture. It was such a surreal experience 🤩
I’m also inspired by the last photo of the present director and his set of wheels 🥳. We might need to make this a prerequisite next time if I ever head back into management 😜
