In this series, PathPod gathers pathologists Around The Scope to discuss their work in depth.

Today, we hear about the History of Pathology. Our host, Dr. Sara Jiang (@Sara_Jiang) speaks with Dr. Marie Christine, Aubry, current president of the History of Pathology Society, Dr. Jim Wright, a professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and Pediatrics at the University of Calgary, Dr. Susan Lester, pathologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. Santo Nicosia, emeritus professor of pathology at the University of South Florida in Tampa, and Dr. Julie Lemmon, a private practice pathologist and a student in the history of medicine program through Hopkins.

How are medical museums related to medical education? What are the ethical challenges with anatomical collections? How does 3D printing relate to Phineas Gage?
