Your Amazing Body

The woman's incredible human body

You've got an amazing body!

I don’t care what shape you are – giant, pear, furry, fuschia… OK, I do care if you are fuschia. If you are fuschia, please send me an email with a picture ASAP.

Your body is miraculous, and scientists are only just beginning to scrape the surface of the mysteries you body holds.

Oddly enough, people who have studied the human body - biologists like me - think they know more about YOUR body than you do. Isn’t that absurd?

Through the “Your Amazing Body” series, we explore the mysteries of the body, teach you the basic biology you should have had in middle school, and highlight some of the true anomalies of humans around the globe. I also want to know about your individual mysteries – we all have something that is different than the “norm.” Those stories are my favorite.

So get ready to boldly go where no body has gone before – except yours!

Here are some articles to get you started!
