Aimee Payne of @PennMedicine says that dermatology research is more than skin deep. “The study of dermatology can offer insights into cellular mechanisms and disease treatments for many other parts of the body,” she says. bit.ly/3DmmC78

Our latest study is a love letter to live microscopy, our first foray into bench-to-bedside research and a proper way to end a challenging year. From our lab family to yours, Happy Holidays!

The SID has learned of the passing of long-time member Tung-Tien "Henry" Sun, PhD. Dr. Sun was the 1989 William Montagna Lecturer and also served as Co-Chair of the SID's Comm. on Sci. Prog's. Below is tribute from Dr. Seth Orlow. Our thoughts to family and friends of Dr. Sun.
What can we learn from institutional psychology about running a lab? For ~10 years now, I have meet twice a month w colleagues and an institutional psychologist. I still have a ton to learn, but share in this article unexpected lessons and concepts 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

This week's Excellence in Science Awardee Spotlight is Valentina Greco, PhD @YaleMed. Greco left Italy after college, due to the difficulty in finding a sustainable way forward to make her exploration of #biology into a profession. Read more: bit.ly/37Eyq8i @SocDevBio
Proud to see our one and only Dr. @HuangSixia on the big stage presenting her beautiful work at the #SID2022 Search committees pay attention! @PennSbdrc
