Presented by Denny Daniel of the Museum of Interesting Things
In the handful of centuries documented by mankind, medicine evolved through science discoveries and practice, experimenting with the technology of its era in a quest of understanding the human machine , suppressing pain, disease , and probably death itself.

Daniel will retrace the evolution of medical device advancements and the lack thereof through an interactive demonstration including everything from quack medical devices, electrical and magnetic, radiology, to prosthetics, glass eyes and civil war and early 1900’s surgical tools, dental devices from tooth keys to 1800’s foot pump dental drills, and medicines that worked (or didn’t)!
About the presenter: Curator and founder of the Museum of Interesting Things Denny Daniel brings his travelling interactive demonstrations and exhibitions of antiques and inventions to a variety of educational settings to inspire creativity and innovation for all. He has appeared on the History Channel, The Science Channel, NY1 News, PBS, over 20 journalistic publications, and has delivered 4 TEDx Talks.
