How can clinicians prepare to discuss ketogenic diets for mental health? @UMmedschool psychiatry researcher Deanna Kelly led a pilot study finding that education and trying the diet increased provider confidence. Its effectiveness for mental health still needs more research.

The mummies are coming! The HSHSL will display the “Bodies of Knowledge” exhibit in the Weise Gallery from Oct. 20, 2026, to Jan. 8, 2027. The exhibit features the preserved specimens of 19th-century anatomist Allan Burns, and MUMAB (Mummy, University of Maryland at Baltimore), the product of a collaboration between anatomist Ronald “Ronn” Wade and Egyptologist Bob Brier, Ph.D. HSHSL will host a reception for the exhibit on Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. About The Burns Collection In the early 19th-century, Allan Burns, a Scottish anatomist and educator, preserved anatomical specimens in a solution of arsenic, salt, and honey, allowing specimens to be used repeatedly for teaching purposes. Following Burns’ death in 1813, his specimens were sold to Granville Sharp Pattison, Burns’ pupil and chair of surgery at University of Maryland, Baltimore. After being part of a touring exhibit, the specimens are now returning to UMB. About MUMAB In 1994, researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine undertook an extraordinary experiment: recreating the ancient Egyptian mummification process using methods described in historical sources. Wade and Brier mummified a body donor from Maryland using procedures practiced during the New Kingdom period. Periodically studied using CT scans and MRI, MUMAB has shown no signs of decay #MummiesOfTheWorld
