In order to further support fascia anatomy education, the imaging of fascia has also been expanding, but until now a true visualisation has been a challenge.<br /><br />Based on this, the teams behind the&nbsp;<strong>BODY WORLDS Exhibitions</strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>Fascia Research Society</strong>&nbsp;joined forces to create an interdisciplinary team with the lofty goal to produce a full body fascia focused plastinate, revealing the entire human fascial net, three-dimensionally.<br /><font color="#81c94c">The result of this ambitious three-year project is the successful creation of the world&rsquo;s first 3-D human fascia plastinate titled FR:EIA (Fascia Revealed: Educating Interconnected Anatomy).</font> FR:EIA will become the new attraction and an integral part of the permanent collection at the BODY WORLDS Museum in Berlin.<br /><br /><font color="#e0915c">The&nbsp;minds behind the project and leading protagonists of the two organisations, Dr. Vladimir Chereminskiy and Gary Carter, are excited to reveal the first fascial focused whole-body plastinate&nbsp;to the world. </font>They will talk about the obstacles they faced and benefits now available through this unique specimen for medical and anatomical education.<br /><a href="https://www.somatics.de/en" target="_blank">Dr Robert Schleip</a>, world-known fascia researcher and scientist, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vagaro.com/flourishbodywork/staff" target="_blank">Rachelle Clauson</a>, fascia expert and author, will moderate this special online event on:<br /><br /><font
