Histotechnology Professionals Day
On March 10, 2010, The National Society for Histotechnology (NSH) announced the inaugural celebration of an annual Histotechnology Professionals Day; a day dedicated to raising awareness about the field of Histotechnology. Much has changed in the last decade, but one thing that has stayed the same, is the dedication of the individuals in the histology profession.
Art of the Stain Contest
Every year NSH holds an Art of the Stain Contest, celebrating the combination of art and science that is histotechnology. Use this Google Form to submit your stain. The deadline for submissions is March 8th. NSH members will vote to determine the winner of the contest, which will be announced on March 10th. The winning stain will be featured as the HPD logo for 2022 and the submitter will receive a free NSH membership. By submitting, you grant NSH permission to use your submitted stain. Each individual may only submit a maximum of 2 images to the contest.
If you have trouble submitting your stain via the form, please email it to natalie@nsh.org.
