“Autumn Hues”, is part of our regular virtual art class, open to anyone and everyone in our community & beyond.
If you’re in my Monday night MS Focus art class, this painting might look familiar. I’ve modified it with modeling paste! So, now we’ll be getting some more use out of our modeling paste supplies! We’ll be adding all kinds of mixed autumn colors with a brush or a palette knife, and using a (optional) sponge for the background! There are all kinds of ways to make a painting, and I’m gonna show you how.
Register for the link to join the Zoom meeting. This meeting will be recorded.
Join your instructor Hannah Garrison for this fun autumn-inspired patterns art project.
We’ll use watercolor, scissors, & any drawing medium you have for doodles
This class is open to everyone as a positive tool for mental health. Imagine a safe place, full of support and encouragement, where you can explore your creativity. It doesn’t matter if you are regularly featured in The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, or haven’t picked up an art supply in decades, you are welcome here
Interpreting Prostate Needle Biopsies in Today’s World
Interpreting Prostate Needle Biopsies in Today’s World
Dr. Jonathan Epstein, MD, Advanced Uropathology
Reliable biopsies are critical to selecting the right treatment at all stages of prostate cancer – we’re talking needle tissue, not blood, btw. Get it wrong and you may get too much or too little treatment.
Reading pathology is part art and part science! AnCan Advisory Board Member, Dr. Jonathan Epstein is globally acknowledged to have the best eye in the genitourinary pathology world. AnCan frequently refers men to him for a 2nd opinion. His presentation will include:
Getting the most out of a 2nd Opinion
The relevance of cribriform, intraductal, ductal, & small cells
In our prostate cancer world, getting 2nd opinions is critical. It’s easy to find a medical second opinion, and you can have your pathology reread by the best. But MRIs – that’s been challenging.
Now there’s an affordable AI-validated option that’s proven very reliable* – ProstatID
Founder and Developer, Randall Jones, PhD, explains the technology and its uses. Hosted by AnCan Advisory Board Member and prostate cancer peer, Cdr. Mike Crosby
