Look at this gorgeous cover for Keywords/Keyimages in Graphic Medicine!! Thanks to Ian Williams for giving us permission to use his image on the cover, which captures brilliantly the concept & structure of the book. Briana Martino (@briwok.bsky.social) & I are grateful & thrilled!

Book cover for Keywords/Keyimages in Graphic Medicine edited by Lisa Diedrich and Briana Martino. The image on the cover is from Ian Williams, & is a version of an image from his book The Bad Doctor, a graphic narrative based on his own experience with OCD. A boy is in bed with his hands folded in prayer & his thoughts take the form of a sefirot surrounding his head.

I offered some thoughts this past July on the global reach and community that Graphic Medicine promises.

World(s) of Graphic Medicine

There is a difference between universal, global, and uniform. Graphic Medicine offers a way to link our far-reaching world -- as a "guild."

We got a nice mention by MCPHS's news concerning events coming from our Center for Health Humanities.
"The summit is a collaboration between MCPHS, Harvard Medical School, Simmons University, and Massachusetts College of Art and Design."

Check out our excellent logo for #NEGM25 this October by the talented hudrewthis.bsky.social ! It is an homage to local railroad construction foreman Phineas Gage, famous for the spike that impaled his head and suggested a link between personality & brain trauma.
