Hello. I am in the process of re-writing a chapter in a book for a national nursing association. I am writing to ask permission to use a picture showing islet cell transplantation that was posted on the Biomedical Ephemera, Or: A Frog For Your Boils. I would be happy to send a formal request form if you provide me with a contact to do so. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance.
Well, it helps if you leave an email for me to contact you at, at least. :P
I can’t find the post in reference, but of course you may use the image I have posted, if it’s in the Public Domain. If it is a more recent image, contact the source I have listed on the post for appropriate permissions.
All images on Biomedical Ephemera are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, since I modify most of the original images that I post. However, I both post the original sources of the materials (meaning that you’re free to find the image and use it for your own purposes), and am fairly liberal in waiving any need for linkage or mention if there are modifications, if you take my images directly. I just request that there’s at least a text attribution, and maybe a note to tell me that you’ve used it.
While a number of sites have linked though to my posts, my images have been used without links on Cracked, Mental Floss, the first episode of Penny Dreadful (look for the Clorion illustrations in the doc’s office!), many YouTube shows, as well as on a number of major science blogs.
I’m not doing this for the money (…I mean, when I actually get around to tending the blog…), I’m doing it to force my love of old illustrations and science down the throats of the masses. Don’t steal my shit to make crazy profit, but my main interest is in knowing where it’s been used - I love to see what people have made and what they can teach me.
