Digital Histology Interest Group or DHIG

Hello all! 

Based on all the great discussions in DHIG community, we now have support from AAA to plan a DHIG members meeting (or two) at EB 2017 in Chicago!  This meeting won't be a part of the official EB program but it will allow us to informally get together and have histology-related discussions in greater depth than what we've been able to do at informal luncheon outings.

Stefanie and I would like your involvement and help in DHIG meeting planning.  We would like to schedule a conference call with any interested members of DHIG to determine meeting schedule, format, and other logistics (Stefanie will post a conference call agenda shortly). 

For a productive discussion, we would like to cap the number of conference call attendees at 12.  The call will be scheduled when the most number of members can attend (but no more than 12).  If you are unable to participate but still interested in contributing, don't worry, we'll post our conference call minutes for your review and input.

If you are interested in getting involved, please let us know your availabilities by completing this doodle poll as soon as possible: Doodle: Conference Call to Plan DHIG Meeting at EB

Thanks!

Hello Histologists,

I have attached a summary of our discussion during yesterday's conference call.  Thank you to those who participated!  We welcome the DHIG to add any thoughts by replying to this post.

You will soon see new discussion threads initiated by some of the conference call participants to get us talking before EB.  

Have a great weekend!

Hi Everyone,

It looks like we do have several topics of interest for our histology lunch.  I am hoping that we keep going with our planning as I think this will be a very useful session.  However, I suggest that maybe we should wait until the AAA program is more detailed.  By waiting, we can determine if there is a day that many of those interested in the histology lunch will also be attending the sessions and we can avoid overlap with any other activities going on to allow for maximum participation.  Once the program is released, we can narrow down our topics and choose a date.
