🧠 Jeremy Bentham's preserved head has been at UCL since 1850. As part of UCL's bicentenary, our researchers put it in a CT scanner for the first time.
What they found inside - possible brain remnants, evidence of arthritis, and details about the mummification process that had never been seen before - tells us even more about the auto-icon even after 100 years.
Bentham himself explicitly wished for his body to be used for science after his death. Two centuries on, that wish is still being honoured.
⚠️ Viewer discretion advised: the film includes footage of Jeremy Bentham's preserved head (auto-icon), which some viewers may find distressing.
Watch the full film via the link in our bio.

🤖 Day 5: Think before you prompt.
How often do you turn to AI without really needing to?
AI can be a useful tool, but every prompt uses energy. Before asking AI for help, take a moment to think: could you work it out yourself or find another way?
Today’s Seven Ways in Seven Days challenge is about being more thoughtful about how we use technology and the impact of our digital habits.
Watch Angie Wyatt introduce today’s challenge. Will you think twice before your next prompt?

“The Slade introduced me to one of the most important friendships of my life.”
That’s how John Y. Wind (UCL Affiliate Arts 1985) describes meeting Emeritus Professor Susan Collins (UCL Fine Art 1987) at the Slade School of Fine Art more than 40 years ago.
Both of them have now pledged gifts in their wills to support future Slade students. John hopes his gift will be “a vote of confidence when needed.”
