BodyLink—like all our Link galleries—is a high tech environment accompanied by high touch experiences. Test your nutrition I.Q. Monitor your body’s pulse and heart rate as you pedal a stationary bike. Surf the web. Watch video clips of the latest news from the world of healthcare and health science. Determine what makes you unique and what you share in common with others. Decode the mysteries of DNA in the WetLab. BodyLink is high tech and hands on!

Part media center, part discovery room, and part newsroom, BodyLink brings you the "latest and greatest" in Health Science and Healthcare. BodyLink is equipped with Internet-ready computers, media players, satellite television and surround-sound audio systems. Computer and video sources can be displayed on huge screens offering visitors a unique immersive experience. If it’s happening in Health Science and Healthcare—it’s happening in BodyLink.

By far the most important resource in BodyLink is its staff. Our knowledgeable, trained staff is comprised of Health science educators and community volunteers who serve as exhibit facilitators. More than guides, our staff is present to share their excitement for Health science to engage visitors in interesting dialogue, and to ensure a fun, dynamic, educational environment.
