As we continue our focus on building a strong sense of community within our department, an incredible amount of hard work has been underway here at the Center, and I want to share my gratitude for these efforts and honor several accomplishments, which are highlighted below. I have also personally enjoyed gathering both virtually and in person with so many in our community for a variety of recent events, including a very successful “in-house open house” earlier this month. Some photos from this event are linked to from the article below. In addition to our November 8th annual meeting of the associates – which I do hope many of you will join virtually – we also have a special Grand Rounds series focused on leadership beginning at the end of this month, and two book signing events coming up in November. Indeed, we have much to be proud of within our community and beyond. At the same time, being together helps us bear the heaviness that too often surrounds us. Thank you, as ever, for joining in this work, supporting our missions, and caring for each other.

This virtual session will be the first in a new quarterly leadership-focused lecture series, Exploring and Enhancing Leadership in the Academy, coordinated by YCSC Assistant Professor Daryn H. David, PhD in collaboration with YCSC Chair Linda Mayes, MD and the department's Grand Rounds committee. The inaugural speaker will be Pamela Sutton-Wallace, MPH, who serves as executive vice president and chief operating officer for the Yale-New Haven Health System. Additional details will be shared when available. The new series will provide an open forum with leaders at the Yale School of Medicine and beyond who are committed to principles of collaboration and service. These talks will be further promoted throughout the YCSC, at 230 South Frontage Road and 350 George Street, through leadership-themed posters designed by Skyler Rapacioli, an undergraduate graphic design student. Learning objectives for this new series are to: - introduce foundational principles of service leadership, generativity, and coaching for effectiveness within the academy and health care
- highlight the service-oriented practices of prominent leaders within YSM, the Yale-New Haven Health System, Yale Medicine, and external institutions
- invite audience members to reflect on their own leadership practices, with an eye toward how service leadership principles could enhance their efforts

Teenagers made up an estimated 20 percent of new cases of HIV infection in the United States in 2020. The actual percentage, however, is likely to be higher because it is known that adolescents are the least likely of any age group to be aware of their HIV status and may unknowingly transmit the virus to others. Only 9 percent of high school students in the United States report ever being tested for HIV.

Researchers sorted through a massive MRI dataset of teenage brains to see if they could predict drinking behavior in adolescents by looking at how two systems rewire during development. The study revealed that the way inhibitory and reward pathways develop can help forecast how likely those teens are to drink heavily in the years to come.
