Thanks for running this great service. It’s otherwise very hard to know what’s going on. I have a new comic in the Annals of Internal Medicine, published Tuesday. 3 others in 2015 http://annals.org/mobile/article.aspx?articleid=2547656

Thanks Sharon! And I agree – with so much information out there, I thought it would be helpful to try to collect as much of it as possible into one place each week. It even gives us a way to look back and see the journey later down the road!
I have your new comic – which is hauntingly powerful by-the-way – all set to be included in tomorrow’s (this week’s) update. I hope it helps get the word out!
