As someone who draws comics by night and has a day job in the healing arts, I love that there is such a thing as "graphic medicine". Its a brand new concept for me!

Hmm, i never thought about comics as medicine. Given that I'm also a comic artist who loves reading comics as part of an outlet, i never thought to make that connection. What an interesting convention!

Thank you Margreet. 😊 You're a ray of sunshine in this world! Enjoy Ireland.

Graphic Medicine... how cool is that?

And like Mary B, I loved your Comics IV... it's pure genius! 🤗

I got to go to Graphic Medicine Beck when it was in Baltimore, MD, USA and it was amazing. Inspired me to keep pushing on the writing for a book that's personal to me as a nurse.

I so badly wanted to go to this conference! I love Nick Sousanis who did the keynote. I will actually be leaving for Norway and Scotland next week and hoped to extend the trip for the conference but couldn't make it work. Would've been so cool to meet! Your comic makes me feel uplifted!

That's amazing Margreet! What's not so cool is that somehow your emails stopped landing in my inbox. They're not in my spam and I didn't accidentally unsubscribe. I'm I the only one having this issue? I'm always looking forward to whatever you have to share!

Ah, I think I had 'push' notifications selected instead of email. Hopefully it's sorted now...
