the south Lincolnshire countryside over
two days inspired by the places and old
routes Newton and his extended family
would have known in centuries past.

Death of an Astronaut
- Virtual Autopsy
Dr Suzy Lishman
King’s School, Grantham
Tickets: School bookings
Duration: 1hr
(Also on Saturday)
How does an astronaut’s body adapt to
zero gravity after months in space? The
human body is designed to function best
within the earth’s gravity. In this unique
Virtual Autopsy, pathologist Dr Suzy
Lishman explores the changes that might
be found in an astronaut after death. You’ll
never think of gravity in quite the same
way again. Suzy Lishman is Consultant
Cellular Pathologist, Peterborough and
Stamford Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
and President-elect of the Royal College of
Pathologists.
Reflections:
Sir Isaac Newton explored both
gravitational forces and space. This virtual
autopsy looks at the effect that gravity has
on a human who has travelled in space,
outside the usual pull of the gravitational
forces on earth.
