JBC issue 48-1
,
The Journal Management board is pleased to announce the publication of JBC issue 48-1. In this issue, we have assembled a diverse range of topics. Our first column features the technical and professional insights of Michael Hickman discussing the role of the technical director, its underutilization in the field of medical animation, and specific use cases where it could improve a production pipeline.
We also include a featured article by Francois Luks, Ian Suk, Ni-Ka Ford, and Phillip Boiselle reflecting on the famous medical illustrations of Dr. Frank Netter and the reasons why they have resonated so well with medical professionals and students alike. They point out Netter's strengths, while also highlighting a very key weakness in the diversity of the subjects that Netter depicts, providing examples and initiatives for medical illustrators to improve representation in our bodies of work.
Our JBC Gallery features the winners from the BioCommunications Associations 2023 BioImages Salon. If you've not yet seen these award-winning images and media, you're in for a visual treat.
