Inspired by the new book Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed, HMS Office of Communications have teamed up with us to find any HMS/HSDM postdocs out there who have Science Tattoos they would like to share!

Do you have a tattoo related in some way to your research or medical work? The HMS Office of Communications is putting together a slide show for our website and would love to hear from you. Whether you are Quad-based or at one of our affiliated hospitals, you are eligible if you have an HMS title. Just fill out the template below and provide the requested photos, preferably by Sept. 1. Send entries or any questions to stephanie_dutchen@hms.harvard.edu.

Photo 1: Your tattoo(s)! It doesn't matter how old the photo is, but please send the largest/highest resolution shot you've got.

Photo 2: You! Preferably a recent photo in vertical/portrait format, again in high resolution if possible.

Your name:

Your lab/department or affiliate institution:

Your specialty:

What does your tattoo depict?

How does it relate to your work? What does it mean to you? (Please use easy-to-understand language, and aim for 100-200 words)
