I’ve been genuinely revitalized!

Two days considering Andreas Vesalius and the art of anatomy has transformed me from skin to soul!

Which version of me is your fav: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?!

I’m absolutely stunned and honored to have been awarded the inaugural Vesalius Health Humanities Prize for my Anatomia Italiana program at the 5th Vesalius Continuum, University of Antwerp, Belgium!

Named in honor of the 16th century pioneering anatomist Andreas Vesalius whose seminal work “De humani corporis fabrica” transformed the study of human anatomy, this prize recognizes outstanding scholarship in the health humanities.

I’m holding a fantastic award produced by my colleague, dear friend, and renowned artist Pascale Pollier. Her original wax sculpture of the head of Vesalius showing superficial and deeper structures is a work of art in its own right!

Many thanks to Pascale, Ann Van de Velde, and the entire conference organizing committee for their kindness in bestowing upon me this recognition! ❤️ I’m beaming! 🥹
