‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…
Ongoing…
Follow along with the International Comic Arts Festival in Seattle this weekend with the hashtag #ICAF2017! I will include a handful of tweets from it in this week and likely next week’s posts, but much of it is only tangentially related – and I couldn’t get it all if I tried! A highlight to watch for are Leah Misemer’s sketchnotes.
Special Highlight…
As you saw begin last week, the PathoGraphics conference in Berlin was an amazing exploration of narrative, comics, medicine, ethics, and a slew of interdisciplinary scholarship. You may also remember that the Twitter section of This Week went on FOREVER because there was so much coming out. The tweets kept on coming, but luckily for us, MK (@ComicNurse) has compiled them all into a Storify for us!
Check it out – and keep the conversations going!
And another one from Nina Schmidt!
