Welcome to the HMS/HSDM Organ Challenge!

Our med school class was so excited and humbled by the success of our recent music video "What Does the Spleen Do?" We got so much positive feedback, in particular about the video's ability to talk about science and the human body in a way that is both fun and educational.

As a result, we are introducing a challenge for teachers and their students to create fun and educational music videos that answer a seemingly simple questions: "What does that organ do?" CLICK HERE to learn more.
