La charla presenta la autopsia como una herramienta científica precisa, y no como algo morboso.

La charla se dio en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente.

• Las autopsias pueden descubrir enfermedades ocultas y aclarar causas de muerte

• La autopsia se presenta como una herramienta científica para proteger a los vivos

What can a dead body still tell us? Forensic pathologist Ida Kathrine Gravensteen takes us inside the autopsy room to show why the truth does not stop at the last heartbeat. Autopsies can uncover hidden disease, reveal violence, clarify unexplained deaths and generate knowledge that protects the living. This talk reframes the autopsy not as something morbid, but as a precise scientific tool. A final opportunity to learn from the human body. Ida Kathrine Gravensteen is a forensic pathologist, researcher and science communicator at Oslo University Hospital. Her work sits at the intersection of medicine, justice and death, where autopsies can uncover hidden disease, clarify causes of death and reveal evidence that matters to both families and society. She has a PhD and has helped make forensic medicine accessible to a wider audience through writing, podcasts and public communication. Her work asks an uncomfortable but important question: what knowledge do we lose when we stop listening to what the dead can teach us? This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
