Classic talk on informatics ROI #CIC25 - organizations like to say they’re data-driven but gravity will pull them toward data-naive or data-dismissiveness. Informaticists must capture their impact on outcomes, financial benefit, efficiencies and (harder to measure) cultural impact - Dr. Joel Gordon

Alerts on the record telling docs they’re responsible for the documentation they’re signing feels redundant at best. Those who bother to read that statement are the ones already editing their notes. Also, AI warnings/labels are the new Prop 65; discuss. #CIC25 (p.s. Read b4 you sign!!)

1 surprising thing I learned when I was writing my manifesto for the Comics Devices Library is that reading comics - or rather, reading images in sequence to construct and apprehend meaning - is itself a difficult and unique literacy + comprehension skill that does not come naturally to most people.
I truly think that comics is more than an art form, it’s a language. For many of us it comes as second nature. But I’ve met so many people who can’t write it, read it, or comprehend it. Treating it as a language solves lots of our issues. Graphic Novels are just books written in that language.
i'm kind of weirded out by the idea that "graphic novel" has any connotation with "high-brow" or "better than comics" because to me it just means a novel-length physical publication with a contained story. it's still comics, but it differentiates it from "the entire run of Spider-Man" or "20-pagers"
