The profile banner is an opportunity to personalize your profile with an impactful image that appears front and center. Some ideal types of images for profile banners are scientific imagery or photos that are directly relevant to your work at Yale. Because web profiles are published on a Yale website, there is an approval process before your image appears on the web. Please keep in mind that YSM Website Guidelines do apply to profiles and profile images. In a nutshell, images must be high resolution, be of professional quality, comply with HIPPA guidelines and refrain from displaying any animals. Microscopic images work particularly well.
