A brand new biomedical picture website has just launched - a beautiful biomedical image every day, and an engaging nugget of medical science. What’s not to love?
Nice little competition on the Facebook page, too.

Hello, I just wanted to say I absolutely love your tumblr and it has somewhat inspired me to contribute to the cause I’m not sure if you take submissions or not but I created a body art piece that is medically accurate (well as medically accurate as something that not all anatomy textbooks actually agree on can be) and I would absolutely love if you reblogged any of the pieces from this project. I’m currently working on a bachelors degree in sports medicine and I wanted to create a piece of photography that represents my own internal struggle between the symphysis of art and science. The human body has nerve pathways that are called dermatomes they represent the different vertebrae and the areas of the skin that they innervate with sensory nerves.Essentially what I did was paint these dermatomes on the skin of a model with blacklight paint.
Thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day,
-xxx

Thanks, It makes sense.

Thanks neuropsy, your kinds words encourage me to go ahead, and remain in the same line on this the blog. Thanks so much!

A pair of aging stars discovered 3,000 light-years away is locked in a “dance” of death—a union that will end in their collision and a possiblesupernova, astronomers say.
The binary star system consists of two white dwarfs—the burnt-out cores of sunlike stars. The white dwarfs are gradually spiraling toward each other at breakneck speeds of 370 miles (595 kilometers) a second, and they’re destined to merge in 900,000 years.
But astronomers hope that, before the collision, the spinning stars will help scientists test Einstein’s general theory of relativity and even reveal the origins of an entire class of supernovae. (Related: “Einstein’s Gravity Confirmed on a Cosmic Scale.”)
“What is so incredible is that this exotic pair of Earth- and Neptune-sized stars are orbiting each other at only a third of our Earth-moon distance, circling each other every 12 minutes,” said study leader Warren Brown, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“And because there is no interaction—or star matter streaming between them—we may have a unique stellar laboratory here to look for effects of general relativity and probe for extreme gravity.”
