Congratulations to all authors and thank you to everyone who attended the 23rd Annual NYMC Faculty Author Celebration, held on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. Each year the library compiles the current articles, books and other writings of our faculty authors into a bibliography. This was the twenty-third edition of the Faculty Authors’ Bibliography, representing materials published from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
Faculty, senior administrators and library staff toasted the achievements of faculty authors. Introductory addresses were provided by Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer, Edward C. Halperin, MD, MA, Michael Wolin, PhD, Professor of Physiology and Chair of the Library and Academic Support Committee (LASCOM) and Marie Ascher, MS, MPH, Lillian Hetrick Huber Endowed Director of the Health Sciences Library. Special awards and certificates were presented by Marie Ascher for outstanding achievements (see below) with a special, new Millennium Award presented to Wilbert S. Aronow, MD, Professor of Medicine, for writing or editing more than 1,000 publications in his career, including 994 citations in PubMed.
Other event photos and videos will soon be available for your enjoyment.
Thank you to everyone who participated in or supported this event, notably Edward C. Halperin, MD, MA and Nina Kurzban, MLS, Compiler and Editor of this year’s bibliography. This is the second year that we collaborated with our colleagues at Touro to produce the Touro College and University System Faculty Publication, of which NYMC publications make up a considerable portion.
We are already working on the 24th edition. Please submit information about your most recent publications.
To recognize the outstanding contributions of faculty, special awards are given each year for noteworthy achievements. Below are this year’s awardees.
