Video production
The Office of Institutional Planning and Communications produces short videos about topics that are of interest to the medical school community and that highlight advances in research, patient care, and education. We also work with members of the YSM community to assist them in creating self-produced videos and to connect them with resources across the university including the services of the Yale Broadcast and Media Center. We cover a wide array of topics, covering recent advances in the biomedical sciences, clinical innovation, developments in medical education, and the activities of faculty, students, and staff. We also highlight exhibits and events, such as “Medicine in Shakespeare’s London” at the Medical Historical Library, Match Day, Student Research Day, and the White Coat Ceremony. For information contact Michael Fitzsousa at michael.fitzsousa@yale.edu, or (203) 785-4681.

On August 16, 2012, Yale School of Medicine welcomed 100 first-year students to a life in medicine during the White Coat Ceremony. Five students speak about their reasons for entering the profession. A Yale netcast of the ceremony (audio only) with remarks by Dean Robert J. Alpern, MD. and keybnote address by Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith is available at http://tinyurl.com/9v8x759For the Class of 2016, a welcome to medicineOn

Megakaryocytes are cells in the bone marrow responsible for making platelets, which are necessary for blood clotting. One mystery regarding megakaryocytes is how they achieve their enormous size and large number of nuclei. Instead of the single nucleus that a normal cell possesses, a megakaryocyte may contain 64 or more nuclei. This results from a process known as endomitosis, in which the DNA divides but the cell doesn't. Megakaryocytes do not undergo cytokinesis—the separation of the dividing cell into two distinct cells—after the DNA divides.A new cellular clue to leukemia Megakaryocytes

Scientists have for the first time watched and manipulated stem cells as they regenerate tissue in an uninjured mammal, Yale researchers report July 1, 2012, online in the journal Nature. Using a sophisticated imaging technique, the researchers also demonstrated that mice lacking a certain type of cell do not regrow hair. The same technique could shed light on how stem cells interact with other cells and trigger repairs in a variety of other organs, including lung and heart tissue.Looking

The outbreaks of plague that devastated London in the 1500s and 1600s were but one of many threats to life and health during the era of William Shakespeare. Medical historical librarian Melissa Grafe of Yale School of Medicine talks about what doctors and scholars believed at that time, drawing on an extensive exhibit of English medical works from Shakespeare's lifetime. Works in the exhibit, part of a semester-long celebration of Shakespeare at Yale, describe medical topics that appeared in Shakespeare's plays, highlighting the interplay between medicine and drama. This exhibit will highlight themes from Shakespeare's works, such as plague, midwifery, domestic medicine, herbals, astrological medicine, surgery, and other medical topics from the time period.Medicine
