Ever noticed a blue or grey ring around an elderly person’s eye? 👁️ It most likely is arcus senilis, a normal part of aging that doesn’t lead to any vision impairment or discomfort. Some research suggests that nearly every person over the age of 80 may develop this condition.

Follow along as I paint the alveoli in the lungs 🫁. The lungs have about 500 million alveoli which are tiny air sacs. They expand to take in oxygen when we breathe in and shrink to expel carbon dioxide when we breathe out. #medicalillustration #alveoli #respiratorysystem

This illustration was so fun to create. Finding the right balance of transparency to show the brain while also maintaining clarity and emphasis of the hairstyle was important to me because the hair is symbolic of Black culture and I wanted to honor that.🖤 Black In Neuro 🧠 #sciart
