SCIENCES EN BD
Science is not boring, on the contrary! It is possible to make it fascinating, simply by using a little imagination... We invite you to take a look at the content (comics) and testimonials below to learn more about a subject closely linked to bariatric surgery: excess skin.
Indeed, the excess skin that results is almost inevitable, but do we really understand what people living with excess skin have to deal with? What do we know about the subject? A patient partner and three researchers looked into the issue and created comic strips inspired by the testimonials and conferences. These comics were created by four cartoonists trained at the Pavillon – École des Arts et Cultures (ÉdAC) at the Université du Québec en Outaouais. We are honored to present three of these superb comics to you.
