Via Bioephemera, I've discovered this wonderful medical illustration blog, Street Anatomy. In particular, this article on the illustrator Cvetomir Georgiev has an amazing image of a dissected torso exposing a fetus in situ…and I've got a new desktop image. It's gorgeous stuff; people are so interesting on the inside.

Everything is ephemeral - including bioephemera.
As of today, May 31, I'm going on hiatus for at least this summer - and probably longer. While I've met many wonderful fellow bloggers and faithful readers through the blog, keeping BioE going has become a significant investment of time that I just…
Some things I've noticed lately:
Anton Zeilinger (Vienna) has a blog. It's in German, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?
I found that out at Michael Nielsen's place, where he's started blogging again after a little hiatus.
In an effort to improve on my bibdesk+bibtex+folder-full-of-local-…
The following is my most popular post, by far, from the "old" bioephemera (originally published Jan 5, 2007). I'll do a repost each week for the next few weeks to give new readers a taste of the blog. . .

I was meme-tagged a while ago by Thomas at Medical Museion, and I never got around to responding, because I was incapacited by indecision! The meme (which originated with Arte y Pico) requires that I recommend five inspiring blogs to my readers. That's harder than it sounds - there are so many…
I especially liked the dissection of the neck by Cvetomir. The details are incredible.
Amazing details. Beautiful and icky at the same time.
I've always loved medical illustrations, have a few old anatomy books I've collected over the years.
I used to be a great fan of Audra Geras, may have forgotten her correct name. Her illustrations were marvellous, I would have hung any of them on my walls.
Thank for the link!
Thank you for mentioning my new blog on your site!
I'll never look at a pregnant woman the same ever again.
The Rochester Art Center (in Rochester, MN) currently has an exhibit of medical illustrations from Mayo Clinic. I saw it last week - it was quite impressive. It covers art that dates back 100 years (this is the 100th anniversary of the medical illustrations department) and included items drawn with carbon dust. It also had a few that were made recently ("digitally rendered" images). If you have the time, I urge you to see it!
