Public lecture covers movement

Capturing the essence of human movement is critical to many disciplines, each in very different ways, but an integrated course has never been available before at Stanford until this quarter’s offering: The Anatomy of Movement.

Conceived of and led by Amy Ladd, MD, professor of orthopedic surgery, the course provides an understanding of musculoskeletal function and pathology from a range of perspectives, including that of anthropologists, artists, computer scientists, physicians and engineers. The lectures are now open to the public.

Visit http://move.stanford.edu for a complete schedule or contact Ladd at 723-6796 or alad@stanford.edu.

The lectures take place at 3 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Clark Center (check Web site for room).
