Making this comment on Juneteenth was certainly a choice

A 2024 surgical illustration for periodontists. This shows the essential steps involved in a proposed method to treat deep gingival recession in the anterior mandible, taking into account the unique anatomical considerations of the papilla between the lateral incisor and canine. #sciArt #teeth

2024 was the Year of the Overdue Invoice, and 2025 seems to be shaping up to be the Year of the Terminated Project

Recent brain tissue study. Not meant to be instructional, just practicing color and texture. Painted in Procreate, using reference from the Neurosurgical Atlas. #SciArt #MedicalIllustration #brain #neuroSurgery #neurology @procreate.com

how do we feel about modern propaganda posters?

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows. New #collage work. 3x4", original framed piece available in my shop. #analogCollage #collageArt #handcutCollage

Hey corporations, stop adding AI junk that nobody wants just so you can charge us for features we don’t use!!!

This reminds me of a much less sophisticated one that I decorated more than a decade ago. When life gives a medical illustrator a broken cookie...make it bleed, I guess. PS. Am I allowed to participate in #NationalBiscuitDay if I don't call them biscuits? ;)

RFK Jr's "MAHA" report came out last week. It misinterpreted data, had broken links to some citations, and cited 7 articles that don't exist. That last one is a hallmark of AI hallucinations. How much of the MAHA report was AI generated? 🤔 www.notus.org/health-scien...

This is the kind of thing that makes me extremely happy

"Scientific insiders." You mean...scientists? The people who do science and understand it? I'm not saying they're beyond suspicion, but when I look at the US over the past 20 years, I do not have the impression that our major problem is that _scientists_ have too much power.

"AI isn't going away." And?? That doesn't mean you're being forced to use it. The reason it's growing at its current pace is because too many gullible people with too few moral principles are using it without considering the implications.

American science has been underfunded (well below inflation) for nearly two decades the result is less creativity, risk taking, and innovation Trump’s acute attack on science is all the more damaging because of it

The House has passed the GOP's budget bill with the 10-year ban on state AI laws intact. If the provision survives reconciliation in the Senate, the California, Colorado, or any other state that sought to pass laws governing AI would be legally banned from doing so. This is what's behind the bill:

I haven't shared any #medicalIllustration work in ages! If you followed me specifically for that, I'm sorry. Here's an illustration I originally created for Honeycomb Speech Therapy, and recently revamped for the POP-AART project. #SciArt #medArt #illustration

I find it remarkable and sad that senior-level communicators are willing to distrust their own skills and hand over expertise to AI platforms. New post on LinkedIn: tinyurl.com/LI-sad-AI #medcomms #medicalaffairs #lifesciences

Lately client work has been a rollercoaster of emotions and frustrations. Never a dull moment. Can there please be a dull moment?

Seeing a lot of "if you're resisting AI you're resisting progress" discourse lately and what if...we reframe the idea of what progress is? If you envision a world that DOESN'T exploit workers, then AI doesn't seem all that progressive. Just because it's technology doesn't mean it's a step forward.

LinkedIn is just people using chatgpt to write five huge paragraphs that say absolutely nothing and everyone in the replies commenting "wow thanks for sharing 💡"

I know people are just making conversation but sometimes vending feels like a series of job interviews with all the same questions in the same order. "You made this?" "Do you go to Kendall?" "Why did you move here?"

Tried my best to break down the composition in this illustration with notes and realized how hard it was to translate the thoughts and ideas behind it. I'd love to hear thoughts or questions on it

A quick braid drawing tutorial I did a little while ago! I hope it helps someone out there struggling. ❤️

Reminder that consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." are not "inevitable" or "here to stay" and anyone who says that is selling you something -- and that something is garbage.

Clients who ghost you as soon as you mention paperwork are really telling on themselves. #freelance #freelancer

“AI … is offered to us as the latest buoy to cling to. But until AI firms like Google and OpenAI are willing to negotiate the terms of engagement with journalists—and all other creators and workers—it’s our duty to reject AI outright.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social

I created the graphical abstract for this recent publication by Alderink et al. #SciArt #bioengineering

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm! For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste) Need to find your representatives? Here you go: 5calls.org

If you see this, post your green art! 🌱 Here's an old sketch from when I was still figuring out how wet media brushes worked in #Procreate. It's not excellent but I think there's something kinda compelling about it. @procreate.com #botanicalArt #sketch #art
