Honored to have served as Program Chair for the 79th Annual Conference of the Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) recently held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The meeting hosted nearly 400 attendees from 12 countries. Thank you to all who were able to attend!

Researchers from @BCMFromtheLabs found that the severity of chronic obstructive #pulmonary disease is associated with adverse outcomes after open thoracoabdominal #aortic aneurysm repair. Read the recent study by logging in to #JTCVS: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtcv…

I'm grateful for the opportunity to present medical illustration as a career to the students from BCM Biotech Academy, and they did a great job on their heart drawings! @MarcMoonMD @JCoselli_MD @BCM_Surgery @AMIdotorg

The AMI 2025 Program Committee is seeking presenters for the AMI 2025 Annual Conference, scheduled for July 16-19 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Deadline to apply is Saturday, November 30. We look forward to your innovative contributions! ami.org/annual-meeting…

Looking forward to the Gordon Research Conference on July 23-28, led by @DiannaMilewicz. This conference is focused on advancing the frontiers of elastin biology, with a focus on disease of a major elastin containing organ, the aorta. @OuzounianMD @ShereneShalhub @scottlemaire

Fortunate to have some of my #medicalillustration work accompany this article!

@EdwardTufte Thank you @EdwardTufte for calling out our work. Your ideas about maps are spot on for brain surgery too, and we quote you in this article on neurosurgical cartography, which I think your followers will enjoy: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36282096/

@williamcfrankel @annalsthorsurg Looks like they're most likely renders from 3D digital models.

@annalsthorsurg Anyone familiar with this illustration software/know how these figures were made? @Scott_A_Weldon

Our September issue is now online! September's cover art comes from Varrica et al on Autograft Wrapping Reinforcement in Adolescents Undergoing Ross Operation: A Tailored Coat: ow.ly/Rbkt50Krbuj #AnnalsImages

A belated fulfillment of your request @mattlanza from Kingwood this evening. #sunset #livableforest #kingwoodtx

Researchers Drs. @scottlemaire Ketan Ghaghada, Ying Shen (Baylor) and project leader Diana Milewicz (UTHealth) received a grant of $7.6M from the Leducq Foundation for their collaborative project, “Cellular and Molecular Drivers of Acute Aortic Dissections.” @Scott_A_Weldon

It was a good day to be in the OR. Congrats to all involved over the years to bring this to fruition!

@scottlemaire And the back of @ginger_bcm 's head.

Nice recap of another successful research symposium by @scottlemaire et al. (Featuring the side of my head. ;) )

My shortened version is usually, "I get paid to draw guts!" 😉😁 #medicalillustration #scientificillustration #MedTwitter #surgtwitter
