Forgot to share this here. I honestly need to use Bluesky more!! Stay tuned for more content soon youtu.be/d52x2uk15Ik?...

🎥 Just uploaded my first YouTube video in two years! I dive into my experiences working in a biotech startup, the rise of A.I., and what it might mean for the future of medical illustration + medicine. Check it out here: youtu.be/wCbD7slFxvY?... #AI #MedicalIllustration #YouTube

Starting (or revisiting 👀) a project… stay tuned (once I finish this logo and some contract work I have lined up 😛)

Look who’s here!!

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!! 🤩

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

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.

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.

remember the reason for the season

It never stops being weird watching homophobes dance to YMCA, the most popular gay anthem of all time.

Officially deactivated Twitter

Bluesky is truly having an incredible run as Threads' head of product

How does one become a poster on BlueSky as opposed to remaining a lurker?

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Brief update on our ongoing efforts to allow users to specify consent (or not) for AI training: 🧵

If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site. www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...

Someone should make a medical illustrators starter pack

Trans day of remembrance. Don't just focus on those trans people who have been murdered by strangers in public. Also remember the trans people who were denied healthcare, allowed to die in prison, encouraged to kill themselves by their loved ones, buried under the wrong name by their families.

Texas offers thousands of acres to Trump for ‘deportation facilities’

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.
