I have also been working on a graphic medicine database for over a year. I’m… Read More

This Week in Graphic Medicine (7/6/18 & 7/13/18)
Note: I feel I must apologize for the erratic schedule of these posts of late. I’ve had a fair bit of travel, but it is mostly because of stress in my personal life with moving. As I’ve drawn and shared before, stress tends to aggravate my chronic pain – I attribute it to stressing an overtaxed mind too far – and it makes doing even the most routine things more time-consuming. I will hopefully be more settled soon (likely after the conference). As always, if I’ve missed something (highly likely), let me know. And if you ever want to do… Read More
