Welcome to the Science Museum
Alice came into this gallery
met me we were talking about something that she's complained about endlessly in
Articles and books and it sort of struck me
Well, why doesn't she's come up with the perfect Alice?
Now I can't wait to see what is behind that curtain. It's now time to introduce Alice Roberts
See this has been an extraordinary project
I've been terribly excited about this for a month
But I'm also really nervous and I'm interested to see what you think as well
Okay, right help me with this then five
Four
Three
Two
One
Oh my goodness
Oh no, I can't look at that
Oh, this is really strange
She's so different and
Yet in some ways
so realistic
The thing I find weirdest is the face actually because it does look like my face, but those eyes have changed the geometry of it
No, it's not the weirdest thing
Is it the baby's the weirdest thing? That is the weirdest thing but it's very very cute at the same time
Alice 2.0 is amazing
To counter to the faults of our flawed transition to standing upright
She's got a chimps sturdy lower back and the shock absorbing legs of an emu
To improve blood circulation
She's got tiny pumps in her thighs
Beneath her breast'less chest lies the reliable heart of a dog and the graceful lungs of a swan
her neck houses a chick proof windpipe
And to ensure a pain-free childbirth. She nurtures her baby in a marsupial Paige
her senses have been transformed with large mobile ears and
light-sensitive super-sized eyes
This could be a human fit for the future
