Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 07/05/2025I’m not commenting on image generation here - more thinking of ways to use AI to constructively address issues artists run into online/in general. Artists should learn to use AI to our benefit, even as it introduces new challenges. 000

Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Such important work! Especially in light of AI’s growing environmental impact, this is a crucial topic for us #radres to consider as we begin practice 140
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Perhaps the fact that AI trains on output from many humans makes it a sort of “collective consciousness” that will feel more relational as it progresses 000
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Also I think maybe we artists aren’t yet sure how to think about shifting our role from technical expertise toward directorship over AI tools, which is more the convo in radiology. Takes out the joy of the craft as we know it, though. 000
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Interesting thoughts. I think art differs from, say, radiology in that it is explicitly communicative - one mind connecting with another through artistic media. There’s an expressive and experiential aspect, impossible to quantify, but it matters immensely to those of us sensitive to it. 100
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Lovely! I experimented with carbon dust a couple summers ago and loved how soft and luminant it makes things look! 110

Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Those in the career-changer group have significant experience in a non-physician or non-medical field and bring a very different perspective. They may also be older on average and may be more likely to have life partners/ families, which greatly impacts the med school experience! 000
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 26/11/2024As someone who switched careers into medicine, I think it’s important to differentiate students who took true gap years (but were pre-med in college) from those whose “gap years” came from a change in career trajectory. 100
Rebekah Bihun, MD @rbihun.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Amazing resource! I helped turn this online course into a for-credit elective at Mayo and it was super popular with med students, boosting early exposure to rads and teaching essential reading skills for all docs! 🥼☢️ #RadSky #MedSky #SurgSky 0185
