Guest Review by Faye Albert The Brain: The Ultimate Thinking Machine by writer Tory Woollcott and illustrated by Alex Graudins is a compendium of information about the brain and nervous system.

The illustrations of the brain, neurons, cells and nerves are particularly impressive… Read More

Her research team is looking into the relationship between mental workload and medication dispensing errors. As part of their study, they are asking community pharmacists to fill out this blank brain template as a means of self-reporting what is on the pharmacist’s mind whilst working on filling scripts. This is another fascinating medical project utilizing knowing-through-drawing. I would love to see this kind of research… Read More
