These are fantastic digital manipulations by Dutch artist, Koen Hauser. As part of the series, Modische Atlas der Anatomie, Hauser takes a female subject, photographs her body in certain frozen poses, and then digitally adds/removes her skin to reveal organs and internal body structures.

Anonymous asked: Finals are coming around, would you like to share some of your studying techniques for your many science classes? Any ways that you keep sanity through this hectic time hat comes twice a year?
Well for me it comes three times a year, sometimes four, since my derp school is still on quarters. Here’s what to do:
1. Study a little bit everyday
2. Make sure you eat and sleep enough-
OH WAIT, this is the real world, and I will dignify your answer, dear Anon, with more realistic options less about how to study and more about how to keep yourself together.
1. Flashcards are your bestest friend in science, you are learning a new language called ‘Jargon’ and you best believe your exams will use jargon liberally.
Flashcards are also you best friend if you are more the Ecology/Evolution side of science, since lab practicals often ask you to identify species or anatomical features by sight. Excellent site for this: studyblue.com
2. Study in the library, on a school computer, away from your phone/laptop/gadgets. The difference between your own computer (a click away from tumblr) and the school’s is significant.
3. Any time obligations that can be eliminated the week of finals, eliminate them.
4. Reward yourself periodically. Have something in mind for yourself once you finish the readings, a paper, etc. A nap, a snack, cuddle time with SO’s and/or pets, watch an episode of your favorite show, kill the shit out of something in a video game WHATEVER it is you feel better for having done. Days of uninterrupted studying and stress will not benefit you.
5. Sometimes, there’s that class *coughOchemcough* that no matter how you study, you never feel anymore prepared for. This happens, it’s okay. For such classes, crying is not abnormal, it helps to find an upperclassmen you know who has been through that class, they will be a shoulder to cry on and a reminder that there is life after this class.
6. For God’s sake stop thinking about the future. “If I don’t work harder, I’ll fail! If I fail, I’ll get X grade! If I get X grade, my GPA will only be X.X! No graduate/medical school will ever take me with that GPA!!” STOP IT. STAWP IT RAHN. There is no benefit to thinking like this, none. To obsessively think that what you do with your waking hours in the next week will determine the outcome of your future is madness, a mental snare that myself and many others have put themselves in many, many times.
Take a breath. Take another. You are a fine human being, take it from me, and I have no doubt you’ll go on being one. The present is all around you, the past and the future are all in your head. So give studying your best now, because that’s all you can do.

“Yes, the case of the 1994 Chargers is a bit unusual, not only by a matter of degree,. The fact of the matter is this. The average American lives to be 75. The average pro football player lives to be 55. And statistics suggest that the longer a player stays in the game, the more likely he is to die at a young age. And increasingly we’re learning that even those who manage to live into old age pay a steep price for their years of gridiron glory. I discovered this, somewhat unexpectedly, when I set about last year to report an e-book on one of the most remarkable games in pro football history, the so-called “Blizzard Bowl” in which the Philadelphia Eagles slogged through a snowstorm at Shine Park to win the 1948 NFL championship , the franchise’s first. I found out that three Eagles’ Hall of Famers from their golden post-World War II era — Steve Van Buren, who rushed for the only touchdown in the 1948 contest; the late wide receiver Pete Pihos, and legendary two-way star Chuck “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik — had been accepted into the NFL’s 88 Plan, for ex-players suffering from dementia, so often caused by too many blows to the head.” — The NFL: The No Future League (via dendroica)
