22 June 2018: Put your slide collection to use

Do you have a slide collection sitting on the shelf, waiting for you to have the time to do something with it? Of course, you could build a great website, maintain it year after year and eventually be bought out by Google for $50 million, but that doesn't seem probable. We don't want your work to go to waste, and so are creating a Collections section for images at PathologyOutlines.com. If you have 500+ high quality digital images with diagnoses and captions, we will create a separate page(s) for them with your biography and picture. We will also post the images in the appropriate areas of our online textbook, and put an announcement in our newsletters. As a result, the images will be seen by many of our daily 30,000 visitors, and you can remove this from your "to do" list. Contact Dr. Pernick at NatPernick@gmail.com or 248/646-0325 to get started or with any questions.

8 June 2018: Copyright issues

Image owners are entitled to copyright protection, which means you should not copy their images without their permission or payment. However, some image owners use "extortion companies", which demand money just for linking to a website, which, in our opinion, is perfectly legal. In any event, we are restricting our use of links to images we do not own, and are using the Block Site browser app to ensure we do not link to any site that sells even some medical photos:

www.fotosearch.com
www.istockphoto.com

We are also removing links to Nature publishing images (including Modern Pathology), because Nature has blocked our website in the past.
