For the July issue of Critical Values focused on leadership, Sara Patterson wrote an in-depth feature of C. Bruce Alexander, MD, FASCP, who spearheads the pathology residency program at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and who is currently the President-Elect for the American Society for Clinical Pathology. She interviewed author Carl Schoonover about his book, Portraits of the Mind: Visually the Brain from Antiquity to the 21st Century, which takes complicated scientific discoveries about the brain and makes them understandable for lay readers.

In this issue of the magazine, she served as managing editor and used InDesign copy editing software to work collaboratively with the design team and streamlined production.
