The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau - Episode 91 - 09/07/2025

The human body is the most complex biological machine ever, made up of groups of organs that work together to produce and sustain life.  Learning about the human body requires a great deal of study.  But for the students of the Greater Altoona Career & Technology Center, their education just took a huge step forward with the acquisition of "the Anatomage Table," a life-sized, fully interactive model of the human body that students can use, without ever having to touch an actual human body!  The director and the principal of the Greater Altoona CTC will explain this remarkable piece of equipment. Then in the PA-mazing segment, it's off to the Juniata River Valley for the celebration of a quirky, one-of-a-kind holiday that residents have observed for more than 200 years:  Goose Day.  The Executive Director of the Juniata River Valley Visitors Bureau will tell us why folks flock to the region, and why this year will be "goose-ier" than ever.
