Juxtaposition

Via Mind Hacks: Katrina Firlik is a neurosurgeon who's just published a book called Another Day in the Frontal Lobe.

Her web site features a small online gallery displaying her line drawings.

"I have paired each neurosurgery-inspired item with something from the natural world, either for good reason, or simply for fun," she says.

These include The venous sinuses (and squid), The Circle of Willis (and insect), and The homunculus (and "Hello Kitty" look alike). Squee! Edutaining.

Visit her gallery, and check out an NPR interview.
