| Description |
When health sciences students were allowed to return to using our building in May 2020, I was one of the few physically staffing the building. I make funny buttons for students every semester, usually bad puns about medicine, and decided to try and design something that might be funny but didn't seem flippant about the terrible loss of life happening all around us. I ended on this - a plague doctor stating you should "cover thy face holes". It was easily the most popular button we ever made - everyone loved them. It was a little thing that made the constant fight over masking feel a little better. |
