Tomorrow night HBO will premier the film Temple Grandin:
Starring Claire Danes, Julia Ormond, Catherine O’Hara, and David Strathairn Temple Grandin paints a picture of a young woman’s perseverance and determination while struggling with the isolating challenges of autism at a time when it was still quite unknown.
The film is based on two of Grandin’s books about autism, Emergence: Labeled Autistic (written with Margaret Scariano) and Thinking in Pictures, Expanded Edition: My Life with Autism. Given the typical Hollywood treatment of autism (Rain Man, anyone), I had my doubts – fears, maybe – ...

As Bente writes on our Danish blog (Museionblog), we thought at first that Sven Erik Hansen (former consultant rheumatologist, now guest researcher here at Medical Museion) had a fit of belated Xmas nostalgia when he hanged this ’thing’ made of coloured gift wrappage ribbons in our lunch room earlier today.
But it’s actually more museum-related than we first thought. Turned out it’s a play on one of the central images involved in the preparation phase we’re in right now for the next show in our external exhibition area in the main building of the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Can’t wait to avoid seeing Repomen when it is released in a theatre near me later in the spring. The trailer shows Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and a lot of lesser known stars running around killing each other in a near future when artificial organs can be bought on credit and some people can’t afford to make the payments on hearts, livers and kidneys they’ve purchased. Probably says more about the cultural expectations around the new transplantation future than about medical research. The dramaturgy doesn’t look particularly inspiring.

Like many parents, I always enjoyed taking my sons to their first day of school when they were young. One year in particular stands out.
My elder son was just starting the second grade, his second year at this school. As we walked in on the first day of class, it seemed as if a party were going on. Kids were roaming the halls, teachers and staff were talking to each other and the kids, asking how them about their summer and telling them what a great year it was going to be. Amazingly, they even talked to me, asked me how my summer was, if there was anything they should try to get my son to talk about from his summer vacati...

The Mori Art Museum in Tokyo is currently showing an exhibition called ‘Medicine and Art: Imagining a Future for Life and Love’, showcasing 150 works of art — some are installations designed by artists, other are historical medical artefacts that are contextually transmogrified into art objects by being situated in the art museum space, like these:
From Boing Boing.
Adds to my general impression that the identity of a medical artefact — as a historical museum artefact, as a clinical tool, as an art object, etc — is all about context. Framing means everything. (Source: Biomedicine on Display)

In the latter case, it was apparently a “vexacious complaint” by the patient who subsequently withdrew the suit after it was made known she had sent explicit messages to the gynaecologist, including one where she asked him to christen her with his “Angus beef sausage”, and it also dawned that she had wanted to have a relationship with another doctor.

However, I also want to make the holiday season magical for my kids, because I’ve found that their wonder can be contagious.

I couldn't attend the ASBH meeting in DC this year, but apparently, Ezekiel "Zeke" Emanuel gave quite a controversial speech. While I don't have the text of the original speech, my guess is that it will be posted on the ASBH website at some point. But what I do have is Art Caplan's response, from which you can glean certain aspects of Zeke's speech -- I'll be interested to see/hear what kind of reaction this gets:
Facts alone won’t suffice for the field of bioethics
When you get old enough as a practitioner in any field young people seek your advice about what they should do if they want to do what you do. Given that...

Mad But Glad
Very good UK documentary following Nick van Bloss, a pianist who has Tourette’s syndrome and thrives by using the instrument to channel creative energy and manage his condition. Delves into classic questions about the link between creativity and madness (and dopamine), with animated brain scans and comparisons to some creative correlates of autism, mania, and Parkinson’s. Part 1, and part 2. (Source: Channel N)

Opening exhibition Kees van Dongen in 1967
Moving images of artists from the generation of painter Kees van Dongen (1877-1968) are rare. This fragment from the Polygoon Journaal [Newsreel] contains images of Van Dongen during the opening of an exhibition in 1937. He speaks, as he describes it himself, with a whisky voice, thanks to an excessive use of Dutch coffee.
This Polygoon Journaal is about the opening of a retrospe...

Whether it’s an artificial leg, a cast for a broken arm, or even a corset for an injured back, you can use these items to express yourself and have some fun if you want. You can make your prosthetic yours and really, the only limit is your imagination.
You can choose to have a functioning but unique leg that extends for rock climbing or you can have a glass leg that you can fill up with something decorative. Your artificial arm could be tattooed from shoulder to wrist or you could decide to cover your stump with a wing. Even casts for broken arms can be made into works of art – as long as you’re willing t...

In continuation of last week’s post about protein art — here is a (somewhat dated) YouTube-movie about the making of such a beast:
It’s an interview with German physicist-turned-artist Julian Voss-Andreae working on his antibody sculpture ‘Angel of the West’, now placed in front of the Scripps Research Institute in Florida.
Voss-Andreae comments in Leonardo, vol. 38: pp. 41-45, 2005:
The main idea underlying these sculptures is the analogy between the technique of mitered cuts and protein folding. The sculptures offer a sensual experience of a world that is usually accessible only through the...
