This Week in Graphic Medicine (8/16/2019)

by

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights news about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… My pick of the week is this much-needed scholarly comic – Writing medical comics – by the always great Miriam Waite. As I noted on Twitter, there has been a lot of conversation about the need for guidance on just how to develop medical comics, but thus far those conversations have led to little. Hopefully this is a change in that… Read More

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights news about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… No pick this week, but an important bit of news: This Week in Graphic Medicine will be on hiatus, after this issue, until August. I announced this on Twitter yesterday as well. The primary reason for the break is that I am both taking time off and doing a great deal of travel in the next month-and-a-half, so finding a chance… Read More

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights news about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary. So without further ado… Personal Note… This edition of TWIGM is strange in that it covers the period of May 4th to May 15th. There was a death in the family that has upended routine here, so I apologize for the strangeness. Keep in mind that this means the next edition will also be strange as it plays catch-up to include the rest of this week (5/16 and 5/17). Matthew’s… Read More

For the foreseeable future, TWIGM will not include an attempt to capture all of the relevant tweets from the week(s).
