Achieving Enlightened Competence

June 29, 2010 | By Simi Agarwal, DDS | 5 Comments

Have you ever noticed that whether you are learning to drive your new car or learning to speak a new language or even when you are learning to apply a new behavior, it challenges many parts of your brain? While learning new skills or modified behaviors, your brain experiences progressive stages of development of competence. As your brain follows step-by-step instructions, your body learns new muscle movements and thought processes on how to apply them in practice. The new skill now becomes more like second nature.

Medical Art Imitating Life

June 17, 2010 | By Jennifer Gibson, PharmD | 4 Comments

The ideal human body shape has evolved -- for better or worse -- over the course of human history. Its depiction in art parallels society’s beliefs regarding what is and is not attractive and desirable. The representation of the human form has, too, undergone a metamorphosis in the oft-forgotten field of medical illustration. With the recent 150-year anniversary of Henry Gray’s classic Anatomy, a look back at the growth and change of anatomical illustration showcases the paradigm shifts in beauty and human appeal.
