If you would like to write an article, please email anthonyc@uthscsa.edu. 

Tip From Jeff: Get an Author ID. An author ID profile allows you maintain a clear and comprehensive publication record in one place. This is particularly useful when applying for grants or looking for collaborators. ORCID and ResearcherID are probably the most common.
