Recent graduates of the Medical and Biological Illustration graduate program participated in the 2010 Johns Hopkins Medical School Research Day (MSRD). Poster sessions, interactive programs and animations of their thesis research were presented in the one-day research event held in the new Anne and Mike Armstrong Medical Education Building on Friday, February 26. The student projects included: Visualizing Quadrupedal Launch in Pterosaurs, by Julia Molnar; Improving Detection of Spina Bifida: A New Ultrasound Reference for Recognizing Ossification Centers by Inna-Marie Strazhnik; Interactive Teaching Modules For the Structure and Function of Hemoglobin: A New Approach to a Fundamental Protein, by Jared Travnicek; and Updating the Model of HIV: Visualizing the Role of Membrane Rafts, by Jenny Wang. These exciting topics drew a great deal of attention from all attending especially the interactive programs and animations. We are grateful for the support of Jamie Dy, for her effort in organizing the event, and of the Academic Computing Office, for providing on-site computers.
