Monday, November 26, 2007 UTMB DIG Meeting Summary
The most recent UTMB DIG meeting was well attended for Dr. Wagner's presentation about the media and skin diseases (thanks for providing the popcorn and diet cokes). Historically, skin diseases were depicted in theatre (William Shakespeare) and interest continued in fine arts and literature. Skin diseases are now included in modern film, television and appear on the internet. There is lots of opportunity for research in this new emerging area of academic dermatology interest.
