‘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…
Note: Apologies for the unexpected off-week last week and thanks to Alice for filling in the week before! There will be some attempt at catching up with links below, but things are surely missed. It was unavoidable.
Matthew’s Pick of the Week…
I know it isn’t quite new news now, but I just want to celebrate Lynda Barry’s winning a MacArthur genius grant! This is seriously cool. And here’s a video too!
You know what else is cool? That Lynda Barry has a new book out this November: Making Comics!

Some great stuff this week! Did I miss something? Let me know in the comments below or tweet @NoetheMatt! Until next time…
Hello – Here’s a new article about Jaye Gardiner, the Fox Chase cancer researcher who “creates comics to explain science to non-scientists”:
https://www.inquirer.com/life/jaye-gardiner-fox-chase-jkx-comics-20200728.html
Maybe she should also explore options in the for-profit world for print publishing – she’ll get more publicity and broader reach through regular comics/graphic novel channels. And any “profits” can go back into reaching more non-scientists.
Best wishes!
