In this edition we welcome Dr. Janet Southerland, the new Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs, and we welcome back Dr. Dedrick Moulton as the new head of the department of pediatrics.

This edition is filled with noteworthy achievements, research successes, and publications of School of Medicine colleagues and students, but for just pure enjoyment, make sure you go to Your Neck of the Woods to see how some of the departments got into the Halloween spirit.

As we wrap up the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to express my gratitude for each of you for your work to improve the health of my friends, family and neighbors. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to share these stories of your success in advancing science and health. I depend on each of you for content every quarter, so please keep sharing with me at dflock@lsuhsc.edu anytime with an idea for a story, information or pictures that we can share. As always, I extend additional thanks to Dr. Judy Crabtree, Todd LaGrange, and Dr. Stephanie Taylor who all work behind the scenes to get each issue published.
