Tuseccsiphor CAN BE CURED. 
Julian is a master. This completely destroyed me. Hilaaaarity. 
Full copy below per a commenter’s request:

“But it wasn’t always this way. Fred here, like millions of others, suffered from a debilitating disease that made wearing shirts impossible for him. 
Tuseccsiphor Syndrome
And it wasn’t just his shirts; hats, and even his beloved pet cat were all off limits to Fred. Tuseccsiphor disrupted his entire life. Fred’s love life left him and he nearly lost his career. Fred was a model (if you know what I mean,) but being unable to wear shirts limited his modeling ability. What’s more, Fred couldn’t travel— Milan, Paris, New York, and the entire nation of Japan — the very epicenters of fashion are all hostile environments for sufferers of Tuseccsiphor Syndrome. 
But Fred found help. And You Can Too!
If you, or someone you love suffer from any of the symptoms listed here, call the number below:
Unable to attend parties and disco dance
Pain or discomfort wearing shirts
Catwalk turning
Tushy Shaking
There’s help for people with Tuseccsiphor’s! Call now: 1.555.GET.RIGHT visit our website for more information.

An anatomical heart made up entirely of the words from a dissertation. He put tons of effort into studying a particular cardiac arrhythmia, noted below the heart, and instead of hanging fancy diplomas on the wall, he chose to immortalize his time and efforts into a piece of anatomical art. (via Street Anatomy)

This is stunning! A great reminder that art and science don’t have to  be mutually exclusive— in fact, they shouldn’t be: anatomy is art!

SWANSON PYRAMID OF GREATNESS FTW!!!!!
SO MUCH EASIER THAN TRYING TO SNAPSHOT/ XEROX / TAKE NOTES OFF THE TV!!!!
The writers / art directors of this show are just brilliant and so hilarious. It’s pretty amazing when you see funny ideas so seamlessly rendered in visuals in general, but especially on televison (cough: from anyone not in advertising/ communications?? ha).

not only is this brilliantly bauhaus design from some very talented Behance folks (love that site!) uses subtle visual cues to hint at the ways plastic puts sea life in danger. not to mention the whole other layer you can read in re: plastic surgery. ha.
