What does a 3D-printed spine have to do with art? Ask @summerin3d.bsky.social PhD, @@virtuallyjon.bsky.social, PhD, Edgar Arceneaux, USC President Beong-Soo Kim, and Shri Narayanan, all together at USC's Arts + Health Symposium "Radiology Live" panel.

A group of five people stands together smiling against a bright pink background. One person holds a small spine model, and another holds a laptop with visible stickers. They are making peace signs with their hands.

3D printing didn't just support this surgery. It made it possible. Thanks to the incredible collaboration between Nathanael Heckmann, MD, @summerin3d.bsky.social & @virtuallyjon.bsky.social, a patient who came to @keckmedicineusc.bsky.social to repair a previously failed hip surgery can walk again.

A collage of hip joint models and 3D printed pelvic structures is displayed. The upper left shows a series of colored anatomical images, highlighting the pelvic bone in different angles. To the right, a white 3D printed pelvis is placed on a light surface. The bottom right features another printed pelvis model with metal components beside it.

Dean’s POV 📸 Breaking news from 330 BCE: @summerin3d.bsky.social and @virtuallyjon.bsky.social with CIMV performed advanced 3D imaging to virtually "unwrap" the mummies and create 3D prints of their spines and artifacts for a new public exhibition @casciencecenter.bsky.social 🧪 #Science #MedSky

A mummy is lying on a medical examination table, partially wrapped with textiles. Medical professionals in white coats and blue gloves are performing a scan using advanced equipment. The setting appears to be a modern medical facility.

A team of medical professionals examines an ancient Egyptian mummy with a CT scanner at Keck School of Medicine. They wear white lab coats and blue gloves, focusing on the task. The mummy is covered with a mesh material.

A gloved hand points at a computer screen displaying various medical scans, including a full-body scan and a cross-sectional image. The screen shows details like dates and technical information related to the scans.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Late and not the usual. Made for a friend. #3dprinting #3dfridays. Here is a Dr. Doom bust sculpted by CA3D Studios, then printed and painted by me.

3D Fridays. This is a flexible/rigid print of a dissecting aortic arch that is heavily calcified and has an aneurysm. It is used for procedure planning, simulation and to help educate the patient. #3dfridays #3dprinting #3dprintingmedicine

Kind of just shouting into the void, but one of those days where if I could stay home with my dogs and never leave I would. Just nothing working and hitting my head against multiple facets of frustration

Out traveling but here is one for #3Dprinting #3Dfridays here is a complete aorta of a patient who has a TEVAR but also has a dissection starting at the abdominal aorta and down the the left internal iliac

Here is the full letter. You can also read it on xouthate.org

Updated Statement: February 4th, 2025

Almost a year and a half ago, we came together to send two important messages:

Elon Musk is one of the leading purveyors of antisemitism in the world and presents an urgent danger to Jews and many other groups the world over.

The dangers of antisemitism on X are growing exponentially due to his ownership.

Since then, the situation has only worsened. From the Nazi salute to his Holocaust “jokes” to his support of the extremist AfD party in Germany, Musk's antisemitism has moved to the international stage. Almost daily, he spreads heinous conspiracy theories like the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, promotes neo-Nazis, and agrees with tweets claiming Jews push hate against white people.

The consequences are already here: antisemitic hate speech has exploded on the platform, and at least one mass shooter has named X-promoted influencers as inspiration. This is what matters, far more than any gesture. The pattern is long-running and undeniable.

But even all that is small in comparison to the new power that Elon Musk holds. He and his Department of Government Efficiency have taken control of the Treasury Department’s payment system as well as the General Services Administration.

That is only the beginning of his sweeping power in the administration, a power that will give him even more power to target and endanger Jews and countless other vulnerable communities. When the world's richest man combines political power with a platform that can mobilize hate, the danger becomes immediate and lethal.

We face a stark choice: stand up now or watch as hate spreads unchecked. Too many leaders have chosen silence. Too many organizations have shown deference. Too many platforms still legitimize his reach.

The time for unity is not tomorrow. It is today. We call for immediate action:

To advertisers - including Google and Amazon: Pull your ads now. The pressure is working. X's financial difficulties prove it.

To major media companie…

Missed a couple. Between fire evacuation and an insane workload I’ve fallen behind here. Here’s a quick test print as I do some troubleshooting. #3dprinting #3dfridays

#3Dprinting #3dfridays. Here is a full sized pelvis being printing in a Formlabs Form4BL. So much faster than the previous generation

Almost didn’t make today’s post. Here’s an old veterinary one we did. This is Queeny the Harpy Eagle. We created a custom prosthetic to reinforce her beak which was weakened by disease. Now she can eat without worrying. #3dprinting #3dfridays #veterinarymedicine

I really need everyone who I think is funny, kind and smart to stop doing those things. Another friend who exemplifies being a good and charming person just got diagnosed and it’s so fucking heartbreaking

A little late but here is our #3Dprinting Friday picture. This is a patient print of their rather unique vascular tree. More details at this years #RSNA conference next week!

Maybe I’ll start a “3D Fridays”. Here’s some more test prints. The one on the right is my partner, her skull is smaller than mine (the left one). #3dprinting

@bsky.app I’m sure you’ve already gotten requests, but you may want to crank up for “verification” policies. (Not for me. I’m blissfully boring).

Throwing some of my old 3D prints up for fun. This a test print of my skull (not to scale, I have a Neanderthal-ish head, thanks mom and dad). We were testing out the two different clears Stratasys released on their polyjet J750 a few years back. I had a CT scan of my head handy #3dprinting #medicne
