BJD Talks BJD

What does your perceived age say about you? In a special 'deep dive' into one of the BJD's recent studies, we talk to Prof Tamar Nijsten from Erasmus MC. Prof Nijsten recently led a team publishing a study on perceived ageing and its association with internal diseases of ageing. In this episode, we discuss ageing and epidemiology within dermatology.

Teaching and training are part of every dermatologist's working life. But what of the scholarship of education? In this episode, Dr Jonny Guckian discusses the legitimacy of MedEd as a science with Prof Mini Singh and Dr Laksha Bala, as they highlight key educational issues facing our patients, workforce and learners.

All modern scholarship relies on peer review. But how does this process work? What does peer review offer researchers and readers? What steps should one take as a peer reviewer? BJD Editor-in-Chief, Dr John Ingram, and Global Health Section Editor, Dr Esther Freeman, join Dr Jonny Guckian in discussing all things peer review at the BJD.

In this episode of BJD Talks, Dr Jonny Guckian chats to Prof Richard Weller about the Sun and what it means for our patients in terms of benefits and risks. Prof Weller examines the role of UV, Nitric Oxide and Vitamin D, as well as delving into evolutionary genetics and dermatology's relationship with generalism.

In this episode, we speak to Prof Anthony Bewley and Prof Andrew Thompson about psychodermatology, a growing and exciting subspecialty within dermatology. We discuss multidisciplinary teams, methodological approaches to psychodermatology research and opportunities to get involved in the subspecialty.

The climate crisis is both an immediate and long-term threat, and dermatologists are starting to recognise just how important a role climate plays in our practice, as well as our responsibility to practice 'green' dermatology. To discuss the climate emergency and its implications for dermatology research, Dr Jonny Guckian is joined by Dr Misha Rosenbach and Dr Caroline Nelson, experts in climate dermatology.
