It’s often said that when veteran employees leave an institution like Yale School of Medicine, a wealth of knowledge goes out the door with them. That was that case last year when Peter A. Humphrey, MD, PhD, retired after a long and distinguished career as a pathology professor and internationally recognized genitourinary (GU) pathologist.

But some of the knowledge Humphrey amassed over four decades—in the form of hundreds of slides—is being converted to digital form, so training pathologists at Yale and beyond will continue to learn from the rare cases he diagnosed.

“You’re preserving an important piece of a long career of experience and wisdom,” says Andrea Barbieri, MD, associate professor of pathology and director of the Yale Pathology Residency Program. “The digital piece of it allows it to live infinitely, because slides, as you know, are tangible and break.”

Roxanne Wadia, MD, assistant professor of pathology, is overseeing the digital transformation of Humphrey’s slide collection, which numbers in the high hundreds. “We envision this as something that can be shared with our residents, our fellows, and hopefully, as a pathology atlas,” she says.

‘An amazing resource’

So far, around 200 slides have been digitized. The de-identified slides will reside on a secure platform where Yale residents and fellows can access them. It’s still too early to know all the ways in which this resource will be utilized, but it’s expected to initially be used to supplement resident learning as they participate in the GU service.

“We’re being selective about which ones we are uploading in terms of clarity. We may not need 50 examples of one thing, but there are many useful cases,” Wadia says. “We all know Dr. Humphrey was one of the premier GU pathologists of his generation. He’s co-editor of the World Health Organization book Classification of Tumors of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs. He’s such an expert in the field that he would receive referral cases, some extremely rare entities that he has saved and preserved. It’s an amazing resource.”

Humphrey used the slide collection to teach residents and fellows throughout his career.

“These teaching sessions included daily GU pathology sign-outs and unknown conferences,” Humphrey says. “I also used these teaching slides and static digital images of them in teaching courses at national and international pathology meetings and in presentations for pathology residents when I was a visiting professor at other institutions.”

Humphrey says he’s pleased that future generations will learn from his slides.

“This is very gratifying. And I am very thankful that Dr. Roxanne Wadia is leading this project.”

See disease in full environment

Residents and fellows will view the slides via PathPresenter, software for digital pathology image viewing and management that’s used by many medical education institutions.

“It allows us, without any identifiers on the slide, to share it an educational way, including making presentations with it,” Barbieri says.

“A lot of the teaching materials tend to zoom in on a specific point of the slide,” Wadia adds. “PathPresenter allows us to interact with the sample more, to look around and see it in its full environment.”

Rajendra Singh, MD, PathPresenter co-founder and professor of pathology at University of Pennsylvania, said sharing knowledge—like Humphrey’s slides—is exactly what they had in mind when they created the software.

“Dr. Humphrey’s slide collection represents a lifetime of mastery, an extraordinary legacy that deserves to be more than preserved; it deserves to be shared,” Singh says. “This reflects the vision we set out to achieve—opening access to world-class pathology knowledge so it can continue to guide and inspire the next generation.”

Significant educational value

Pathology Resident Ujunwa Korie, MD, MS, says the slides will have a significant educational value.

“Having access to carefully selected cases with expert annotations helps us understand not just the final diagnosis, but the specific morphologic features that support it and how an experienced pathologist thinks through a case,” Korie says. “The annotations highlight key diagnostic features, subtle findings, and potential pitfalls that are especially helpful for a trainee. When annotation is done right, it’s almost like sitting at a multi-headed scope with an attending as they walk you through a case.”

Although some of the slides are 40 years old, Korie says they remain a useful learning tool.

“While diagnostic criteria and therapies continue to evolve, the fundamental histologic principles underlying many diagnoses have not changed. In some cases, advances in treatment mean that we may not see certain classic disease presentations as frequently during training,” she says. “So, digitizing historical slide collections helps preserve those classic examples so trainees can still study and recognize them, even if they are no longer commonly seen. This is especially important because these entities may still be common in other regions, depending on where trainees end up practicing.”

‘Like sitting there with him’

Wadia, who did her Pathology residency at Yale, had the opportunity to learn from Humphrey.

“I think of all the residents and fellows who have sat with him and used his slides in the past have gained from his knowledge,” she says. “We’re trying to create that on another platform. Unfortunately, Dr. Humphrey won’t be sitting across from you at the microscope. But with his annotations and his guidance, it will be like you’re sitting there with him and he’s talking you through a case.”

Although he won’t be there to teach in person, Humphrey’s timeless advice for training pathologists is imbedded in his work.

“Your diagnoses can change the lives of patients forever,” he says. “Pathologists and GU pathologists should be leaders in diagnostic medicine, teaching, and research. GU pathologists should be innovators and should be on the cutting edge of discovery—and should translate those discoveries into the practice of medicine and pathology.”

Actinides are a group of heavy, radioactive elements that include uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium and californium. Understanding how these elements bond with other atoms (known as coordination chemistry), how they behave in water and how they can be separated from one another is crucial for safer nuclear waste management, new reactor technologies and advanced materials.

However, because heavier elements, like curium and californium, do not occur naturally and must be synthesized in specialized nuclear reactors through long, multistep processes, only tiny amounts are available for research. As a result, they are exceptionally difficult to study. Since californium’s discovery in 1950, only a handful of its coordination compounds have ever been structurally characterized. Californium is the heaviest element on the periodic table for which pure compounds can be synthesized and characterized in laboratories.

Despite californium being one of the most elusive elements on Earth, chemists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are putting it on the chemical map by using a novel nanoscale synthesis and crystallization approach to create, isolate and structurally characterize a pure californium-containing compound — the first time this has been achieved at LLNL. The research, conducted by Ian Colliard and Gauthier Deblonde, follows a companion study on americium and curium, making up a set of “twin” papers published in the journal Chemical Communications.

To study these elements, the researchers used a class of inorganic molecules called polyoxometalates (POMs) — large, cage-like clusters made primarily of metal and oxygen atoms. They used a specific type of POM, called Wells–Dawson, which provides a carefully shaped “pocket” within a large structure that can sandwich a single metal ion of interest, such as americium, curium or californium, in a very reproducible way.

This pocket does two crucial things. First, it stabilizes the radioactive element in a solution. Second, it allows scientists to grow tiny but well-ordered crystals — small enough to be made from nanogram quantities of material, yet detectable enough for single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the gold standard technique for determining atomic structure. With this LLNL-developed approach, the researchers only needed about 300 nanograms of californium to perform the chemical synthesis and subsequent characterization experiments.

Colliard and Deblonde first tested this strategy on non-radioactive elements (rare earths) to isolate and crystallize new compounds, eventually extending the same method to americium and curium and then californium. The californium result is particularly noteworthy, as it represents the heaviest element ever crystallized within a POM molecule.

The first paper on americium and curium reveals that these elements can form nearly identical molecular structures under carefully controlled conditions. Americium was found to adopt two slightly different crystal arrangements, while curium formed just one. These subtle differences, which can be linked to the way each compound absorbs light, helped the researchers understand how atomic size and electronic structure influence bonding.

The second paper builds directly on this foundation by adding californium to the series. Because all three elements were studied using the same techniques, the researchers were able to make clear, side-by-side comparisons, allowing them to observe predictable trends in bond lengths and geometry as the elements get heavier — and smaller — across the series. Based on these experimental trends, the authors were also able to predict how berkelium would likely bond and crystallize, even without directly studying it.

Unexpectedly, the work also revealed major differences in solubility, or how readily these compounds dissolve in water. The authors found that when different metals (such as rare earths or actinides) are bound to the POM, they can be separated from each other by adding potassium chloride (a chemical similar to table salt) to the solution.

Potassium chloride causes some metal-POM complexes to precipitate (form solids), while others stay dissolved. For example, californium’s compound remained soluble under conditions that caused americium and curium to crystallize. This difference in solubility allows scientists to separate the metals efficiently. These findings open the door to a new, potentially simpler way of separating heavy elements — an important challenge in nuclear science.

Beyond the individual discoveries, the real novelty of this work lies in the method itself, demonstrating that meaningful structural chemistry for the rarest elements on the periodic table can be done with quantities of material that are invisible to the human eye. Efforts are currently underway to apply these techniques to other radioactive elements and explore whether the newly observed solubility differences can be developed into practical separation technologies for nuclear energy and critical minerals.

GSTAT is designed to provide a transparent, efficient and fully digital platform for GST appeals, says President, GSTAT

Hyderabad, Feb 21,: Hon’ble Dr Justice (Retd.) Sanjaya Kumar Mishra, President of the Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT), inaugurated a half-day Summit on GST Appellate Tribunal in the city on Saturday.

 Addressing the gathering as Chief Guest, he observed that multiple lakh appeals are expected to be filed before June 30, 2026, the notified cut-off date for filing appeals before GSTAT.

 Creating awareness about the newly operational tribunal, Justice Mishra said that GSTAT is a specialised appellate body that hears disputes related to GST and functions as the second appellate authority in the GST dispute resolution mechanism.

 The operationalisation of GSTAT marks a transformative step in India’s indirect tax dispute resolution framework. It is designed to provide a transparent, efficient, and fully digital platform for addressing GST-related appeals, he said.

 He further urged taxpayers and practitioners not to wait until the last moment to file appeals.

 With a significant number of appeals expected before the June 30, 2026 deadline, I strongly advise taxpayers and professionals to file well in advance. Early filing will ensure smoother processing and avoid unnecessary hardship, he said.

 Explaining the appellate framework, he stated that under the GST Act, if a taxpayer is aggrieved by an order passed by a GST Officer, an appeal can first be filed before the First Appellate Authority. If still dissatisfied, the taxpayer can approach GSTAT.

 Prior to GSTAT becoming operational, taxpayers had to approach High Courts directly after the first appeal, which led to delays and increased litigation costs.

 Justice Mishra noted that GSTAT will handle tax demand disputes, Input Tax Credit (ITC) issues, refund claims, penalties, classification disputes, and interpretation of GST provisions. The tribunal offers a structured technical and judicial forum, speeds up dispute resolution, and reduces the burden on High Courts.

 He informed that the system is transparent, paperless, and fully online, with appeals to be filed electronically through the designated GST portal.

 Interacting with the media on the sidelines of the summit, Justice Mishra observed that the proposed simplification under GST 2.0 could potentially reduce litigation in the long run.

 He earlier inaugurated the summit in the presence of several luminaries from the GST regime, R Ravi Kumar, KK Maheshwari, Srinivas Garimella, and the office bearers of the FTCCI

 The operationalisation of the GST Appellate Tribunal marks a defining moment for the business and professional community. A structured and specialised appellate forum like GSTAT strengthens confidence in the GST framework by ensuring timely and expert resolution of disputes. As industry stakeholders, we welcome this development and encourage businesses and tax professionals to understand the procedures thoroughly and make proactive use of the system. FTCCI remains committed to creating platforms that bridge policymakers, administrators, and industry for a more transparent and efficient tax ecosystem, said R Ravi Kumar, President of FTCCI giving his welcome address

 The summit was organised by the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) at Hyatt Place, Banjara Hills.

 Titled “GSTAT: Navigating the New Era of GST Litigation,” the summit was conducted in the backdrop of the formation and operationalisation of GSTAT.

 Members of GSTAT from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh participated in the programme, along with senior officials and experts from GSTN and the State GST Department.

 In his opening remarks, Mohd. Irshad Ahmed, Chair, GST & Customs Committee, FTCCI, said that the summit was organised at a crucial juncture in the GST framework.

 “With GSTAT becoming operational, it marks a significant step in strengthening the GST dispute resolution mechanism. The programme aims to equip professionals and businesses with clarity and practical insights into the functioning and procedures of the newly formed appellate body,” he said.

 The half-day summit featured technical sessions on the structure and functioning of GSTAT, a practical walkthrough of the GSTAT e-filing system by experts from GSTN/NIC, and a panel discussion involving senior tax practitioners, legal experts, and departmental officials on emerging challenges and best practices in GST litigation.

 Over 250 participants attended the summit, including Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost Accountants, Advocates, tax practitioners, business executives handling GST matters, and finance professionals.

Hyderabad, Feb 21st: The prestigious two-day Regional Cost and Management Accountants’ Convention (RCMAC 2026), hosted by the Southern India Regional Council of The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI), a statutory body under an Act of Parliament functioning under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, was formally inaugurated by Chief Guest CMA Dr. A. S. Durga Prasad, Chairman, NCC and Former President, ICMAI. today at Leonia Resorts, Shamirpet. CMA Dr. K.Ch.A.V.S.N. Murthy, Central Council Member, ICMAI; CMA Vijay Kiran Agastya, Chairman – SIRC of ICMAI; CMA KVN Lavanya, Treasurer – SIRC; and CMA Khaja Jalal Uddin, Chairman – ICMAI Hyderabad Chapter, graced the occasion. CMA A.N. Raman, Former President – SAFA, delivered the keynote address.

RCMAC 2026 has brought together over 500 delegates, including industry leaders, academicians, policymakers, and CMA professionals from across India and abroad. Anchored around the theme “Reimagining the CMA Profession: Driving Sustainable Value & Strategic Impact,” the convention focuses on strengthening the CMA’s role at the intersection of performance excellence, responsible growth, and future-ready leadership.

Addressing the gathering, CMA Dr. A. S. Durga Prasad underscored the importance of integrated cost leadership, execution discipline, and data-driven decision-making in strengthening enterprise performance and nation-building infrastructure. He said, we are not in a period of incremental change, we are in the midst of a very structural transformation that is going on across the globe. The geo-politics and the economic crisis are reminding us of the trade barriers, therefore the Boards are redrawing their strategies. Inside enterprises, the signals are very clear and risk is no longer a linear item, it is interconnected with multiple parameters. The CMA should look to have complete digital fluency or ESG literacy or he will risk a strategic marginalisation, the day is not very far off. India stands very optimistic, is optimism alone sufficient, we need to have the right architecture to get to that optimism. CMAs, as risk enterprise integrators or value architects will shape India’s growth architecture. That architecture will be shaped, if we don’t step in, without us. This is not a routine moment, it is a strategic intersection point. We have remained in the functional line for too long, we need to move to the role of leadership, for this from reporting to foresight, from cost control to value architecture and from compliance to governance design, from functional excellence to enterprise influence, is what we need to look forward to. Let us help the Indian enterprise compete not merely on scale but on credibility. Let us ensure, excellence in performance is not a slogan but it results in a system and future of CMA professionals will not be defined by a legacy we had in the past, but defined by the relevance we have today. Relevance will be earned through integration, integrity and insight.    

CMA A.N. Raman said, post covid the profession started witnessing digitisation along with AI becoming a major force behind getting insights of the basic data.  

CMA TCA Srinivas Prasad highlighted the evolving role of CMAs as strategic business partners and called upon professionals to lead in critical areas such as ESG, governance, and value engineering, reinforcing the profession’s commitment to sustainable and responsible growth. He said, we are talking about value creation, which is the need of the hour, this convention will make us future ready. The focus will be on sustainable and responsible growth, which will ultimately depend on people. We are trained to give the best in challenging circumstances and are geared to do it.

The convention is being conducted under the leadership of CMA Vijay Kiran Agastya, Chairman – SIRC, who stated that RCMAC 2026 is envisioned as a platform for action-oriented knowledge sharing to equip CMA professionals to lead enterprise transformation through value engineering, digital performance management, and sustainable growth initiatives. He said, this is a conversation about strategic value addition, value creation has become the mandate today. The focus of this Convention is from a spread sheet to strategy.  

CMA KVN Lavanya said, the focus of a Cost Accountant was on what would happen tomorrow, purely on the future and internal efficiencies on how managers look at operations. The focus has to be on supply chain management, where we contribute and we have a very crucial role in Viksit Bharat. We need to see tomorrows costs today and tomorrows aberrations today and suggest to the management. Unless we have these forecasting techniques, we will not be in a position to do due justice to our roles. Our curriculum has also changed from traditional subjects to subjects with industrial impact, such that students are on the job right from day one. We need to rise up to the occasion and ensure we add value wherever we are.

The two-day convention will feature technical sessions, panel discussions, keynote addresses, and expert deliberations on emerging trends in industry, finance, governance, and management, including Sustainable & Responsible Growth, Integrated Performance Excellence, and Reimagining the CMA Profession.
