A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN   July  is  coming  to  a  close  as  I  write  this  piece.  The  new  residents  have  made  a  posi9ve  impact  in  their  first  month.    Many  of  us  have  had  much  needed  vaca9ons  including  my  family.  Unfortunately  the  nightly  news  has  been  dominated  by  tragedies  like  the  one  in  Norway,  the  one  involving  inability  of  US  leadership  to  solve  the  debt  ceiling  and  the  severe  heat  wave.    A  liDle  depressing  when  the  only  good  news  for  some  of  us  was  that  overpaid  athletes  and  billionaire  owners  could  agree  to  allow  the  NFL  season  to  occur.

While  at  our  place  in  Tennessee  I  went  to  the  Saturday  Farmers  market.    Representa9ves  of  FEMA  had  a  booth  since  this  area  in  Tennessee  had  been  hit  by  tornadoes  at  the  end  of  April.    I  picked  up  some  good  informa9on  on  preparing  families  for  event  like  hurricanes.    I  would  urge  you  to  take  a  few  moments  and  go  to  the  FEMA  website    hDp://www.fema.gov/  where  a  lot  of  good  informa9on  is  available.    For  anyone  new  to  Florida  the  next  couple  months  is  the  normal  high  hurricane  season.    While  I  hope  Tampa  Bay  area  con9nues  to  be  spared  beDer  to  be  prepared.

! Dr. Kersti Linask was invited to give a platform talk on her teamʼs alcohol research findings at a symposium session put together by the National Institutes of Health at the Research Society on Alcoholismʼs 34th Annual Meeting which was held in Atlanta, June 25-29, 2011. The Symposium was titled “Gene-Nutrient Interactions in Disease Development in Alcoholics:  Folates and Retinoids”. Her talk was on Folate Protection of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome-Associated Cardiac Defects by Modulation of Wnt.

! Emily Shaffer Hudkins successfully defended her dissertation: “Health Promotion Behaviors and Subjective Well Being among Early Adolescents”. Emily is beginning her Post-Doc with NeuroDevelopmental Medicine. She will also be working on the “Bringing Science Home” initiative, specifically in integrating positive psychology constructs into training for medical students. Positive psychology focuses on the connection between health promoting behaviors and psychological well-being, and teaches strategies to improve optimism and hope.

! Congratulations to Dr. Julia Ogg, Dr.Eva Kimonis, and Dr. Jonathan Worcester, who will complete their Post Doctoral training in Pediatric Psychology in August.

! Also congratulations to Dr. Jillian Williams Childres, a former post doc with our Divisions, who is now a licensed psychologist. She will be joining Pediatrics as an Assistant Clinical Professor.
