Dermatology Art Contest of Mayo Clinic shows that art can be seen in every aspect of life

A Mayo Clinic Dermatology art shows beauty really is skin deep. From the Mayo Clinic News blog:

A hair follicle or a copy of the skin that doesn't look like much of anything with the naked eye can become a complex artwork, colored with a microscope. The winner of the first contest of art of dermatologists of Mayo in 2011 is "the hair follicle Triplet". Alexander Meves, M.D., used fluorescent dyes to highlight proteins. Winners of the inaugural art appeared in the may issue of the journal of cutaneous pathology.

"Every single day, dermatopathologists get to see beautiful pictures under a microscope, and most people never have the opportunity to see that. So I thought it would be a nice way to show not only the science of dermatopathology, but also art, "says the creator of the contest, Dr. Lehman, a Mayo Clinic dermatopathologist.

Dr. Lehman hopes medical society will run with the idea and keep similar contests to highlight aesthetics in their specialty. People in other lines of work can also celebrate the beauty of what they do every day, she says.

Editor's Note: Allergists should do something similar. We have beautiful pollen allergens highlight on the covers of the magazine monthly ACAAI.

Dr. Lehman, "Art can be seen in every aspect of life," he says. "Enough to have an open mind and be trying."
