1/You don't need fancy programs to make great #Illustrations!
#Powerpoint is actually an extremely powerful illustrating tool--if you know the secret #hacks!
Here is a 🧵of videos explaining my best tips & tricks so you can make your own great figures, all just w/powerpoint!
2/First, how to make a great 3D vessel in just 3 steps!
The video below shows you that all you need is a gradient, an edge shadow, and an inner glow to make an amorphous curve into a great figure of a vessel:
3/Next, how to get a metallic sheen.
To make metal look real & 3D, you need that bright line of metallic reflection.
The video below shows you how to make a bland colored object reflect light like it's pure gold, just using simple gradients:
4/And of course, one of PPT's most powerful drawing functions isn't even known by most people--the inner shadow function!
It makes figures of humans/bodies look more 3D.
The video below shows how to add 3D shadows right where you need it automatically
5/I am working on making more videos on my powerpoint drawing tips, tricks, & hacks. So keep following for more!
Remember, you don't need expensive programs to make amazing figures for your presentation. You just need powerpoint, some quick tricks, and your own imagination!

@TheAJNR 2/Since the prehistoric days of medicine (1979!), we knew that some brain tumor patients treated w/radiation (XRT) initially declined, but then get better.
Today, we see this on imaging, where it looks worse early, but then gets better.
Now we call this pseudoprogression.
@TheAJNR 3/Why does this happen?
XRT induces a lot of inflammatory changes—from initiating the complement cascade to opening the blood brain barrier (BBB)
It’s these inflammatory changes that make the imaging look worse.
