Has anyone else felt lately it is a bit difficult to use Bluesky? Been trying to use it more but I find other apps more addicting like Instagram and Reddit. Maybe it’s time to swing further to BlueSky

The aorta

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Did you know that inherited retinal diseases affect 1 in 3000 people worldwide? 🤔 sharing a screen grab from my master’s research animation covering the science of retinal organoid chimeras. Watch it in full on my website! 👁️

With every joke there is a kernel of truth. Which I hate to be reminded of when I joke about getting drafted to fight America in 2030.

Excited to finally share my master’s thesis animation with the world! An animation on retinal organoid chimeras for studying inherited retinal diseases youtu.be/N8zZJmnI16Q?... Check out my website for more of my work, or if you want to get in contact: BrendanLazar.ca

Testing! Testing! 123! Testing out my new custom Bluesky domain that is now linked to my websites domain, BrendanLazar.ca Seems to be working super well! Bluesky is the future of microblogging!! 🤩

My boss gave advice to me and it was essentially to stop sh*tting on myself all the time. lol. Sometimes that inner critic is so strong it can get you in trouble when you are actually doing fine

I choked at the airport today. Almost died. But a nurse saved my life. Nurses are real-life super heroes

Made a urinary tract this week in illustrator

Chatted with someone about bike lanes, they were adamant about their removal and that they caused traffic. It’s funny when I bring up actual studies showing the contrary is true, and the safety they bring, they just get frustrated and the truth is revealed. They just really don’t like bicyclists lol

I am now friends with many software engineers and that makes me happy

Ok imma finally say it. Trudeau needs to go

The Globe and Mail

This is what I would have preferred to see.

On this day, 60 years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. earned the Nobel Peace Prize. At just 35 yo, he received this honor for his unwavering commitment to nonviolence, equality, & justice. His words & dedication remain relevant & valuable today. In fact, even more so. Teaching MLK’s work is vital.

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

In Ottawa yelling at Justin Trudeau

Off to Ottawa today to yell at Trudeau

I designed the logo and set up the website for this conference!!! :)

I must go to Mexico

I bought an anatomy poster of the brain and a polish 1970s Godzilla movie poster for my apartment this week. My apartment theme is clearly now largely medical illustrations + Godzilla

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

My illustrations being demoed alongside PocketHealth’s AI organ visualization application for the #RSNA conference in Chicago #medicalillustration

99 followers what’s up Bluesky 👀 I lurk but maybe I’ll start skeeting my random thoughts into the void

Always ask the question. Every story I’ve ever seen of someone curing their cancer using “alternative” therapies has a “also we did the normal stuff” subplot right beneath the surface.
