Identifying a potential melanoma is as easy as knowing your ABCDEs. Watch our video on the ABCDEs of #melanoma to learn what to look for when examining your skin. #SunAwarenessMonth2022 bit.ly/3wKz3ax

During National Sun Awareness Month this May, we’re giving you the chance to have a certified #dermatologist answer your questions on #SunSafety. Submit your “burning questions” here: bit.ly/3wKz3ax and keep your eye out for the Q&A video releases.

@CdnDermatology Very timely to highlight the importance of sun protection!

Attending the photodermatology annual meeting. Great talk by Harvey Lui’s lecture on all what can spectroscopy can assess on the skin!

The UV Index was invented by 3 Environment Canada scientists on this day in 1992! It was created to publish forecasts of the intensity of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, in the hopes that Canadians would use it to reduce their risk of #skincancer bit.ly/2Bi1rXe

Watch this video about how to spot skin cancer and learn the A-B-C-D-Es of melanoma. Know what to look for and if you notice any changes in your skin or moles, ask your doctor for a referral to see a certified dermatologist. bit.ly/2Bi1rXe #SunSafetyEveryDayEveryBody

Clothing & sunglasses are just as important as sunscreen to protect your skin. For sunglasses, choose those with UV protection. For clothes, the tighter the weave, the better the protection. Get more tips here: bit.ly/2Bi1rXe #SunSafetyEveryDayEveryBody

A Skin Patient Charter of Rights was launched by @CanadianSkin in 2019. To learn how this Charter was developed and what it means to patients, check out this new open access @JCMS1926 podcast: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/imp…

Just published! Special journal issue of Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed to commemorate the late Dr. Nikiforos Kollias, expert biophysicist who studied interactions between light and the skin. Wonderful scientist, colleague and mentor. doi.org/10.1111/phpp.1…

Check out all 11 original photobiology articles that were inspired by Dr. Kollias in this PPP journal issue. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/16000781/2…

Congratulations to Dr. Sunil Kalia for receiving a prestigious Health Professional-Investigator Award from @msfhr (Michael Smith Fdn for Health Research). Dr @kaliaderm will be investigating novel optical methods for #skincancer detection & evaluation. msfhr.org/2019-health-pr…

How can we determine the incidence of keratinocyte carcinomas (the most common cancers) on a population basis? ...Analyzing health insurance billing claims might be one way as reported by T. Zhang et al in #JEADV #skincancer doi.org/10.1111/jdv.15…

Discrete choice research methodology used by Dr. Rebecca Pinca and @kaliaderm to study why people don't use sunscreens. Great presentation during today's #CDNDermConf in Calgary.

Congratulations to the @CdnDermFdn for its 50th anniversary at the @CdnDermatology. Great inspirational and educational talks by @HarveyLui from @UBCDerm and Regine Mydlarski.

Great talk, Daniel @DCLouie_BME, yesterday on polarization speckle probe! @wcd2019milan #WCDMilan2019

It's been an honor to serve the @ILDSDerm as its president. The best part has been meeting and working with so many dermatologists from around the world. Thanks for coming to @wcd2019milan and see you in Singapore in 4 years for WCD2023!

This is the @UBCDerm research group that's behind all the cool discoveries in biomedical photonics that've been featured in the news lately: a low cost skin cancer device and a multiphoton laser microscope. Meet the #Photomedicine Institute @VCHResearch, @BCCancer, & @UBCmedicine

Researchers demonstrate new laser microscope that could perform precise surgery and diagnose diseases, such as #SkinCancer: ow.ly/pzQL50udzz2 @UBCmedicine @BCCancer @ubcnews @HarveyLui @HaishanZeng #CancerResearch

Learned lots today at the PowerPoint makeover session by @HarveyLui #DataAnalytics #PowerPoint #presentation @UBCDerm

#DYK that UBC, BC Cancer the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute have made huge strides in cancer research with the development of a low-cost, melanoma-detecting laser probe? The device would help to detect early cases of skin cancer and save countless lives! 📷UBC
