YELLOW DOT is a free program designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during the first "golden hour" after a crash or emergency. A Yellow Dot on the driver's-side rear window of your vehicle will alert first responders that vital medical information is stored in the glove compartment.

For a Yellow Dot Kit mailed to your home, visit https://nysheriffs.org/yellowdot/, contact the Niagara County Sheriff's Office Community Services Division at (716)438-3310, or check with your local Town Hall for availability.

📚 Manuscript Workshop Spotlight

Our Manuscript Workshop provides a safe, collaborative space for sharing ideas, giving feedback, and supporting each other through the writing process.

It offers an opportunity for colleagues to share papers “under construction,” brainstorm ideas, refine drafts, and develop confidence in presenting scholarship.

✨ The workshop is especially designed to encourage junior staff and new investigators to present, while fostering a supportive environment for all stages of writing.

➡️ Some papers at the workshop may be closer to submission or review, and those authors are excited to share their progress!
