The festive season is almost upon us, and the ESDR wants to share the joy and unique perspectives of our incredible community of members, dermatologists, and scientists!

We invite you to participate in our ESDR Holiday challenge by posting a photo on Instagram that creatively merges your professional life or winter experience with the holiday spirit.

What Can You Share?
We are looking for fun, festive, and creative images, for example:

  • The Cozy Science Corner: Your desk, lab bench, or study area with a festive or wintery touch.

  • Nerdy Decorations: Your best science-themed ornament, decoration, or molecule-shaped cookie.

  • Global Gatherings: Photos of your lab’s festive events, holiday meals, Glühwein gatherings, or New Year’s celebrations.

  • Winter Skin: A picture demonstrating a cold-weather skin challenge.

  • Future Focus: Your New Year’s research resolution or your jingle bells scientific experiment!

How to Participate & What You Win?

  • Share your image on your own Instagram profile (as post, story or reel)

  • Please tag @ESDRorg

  • We will reshare every submission on our Instagram

  • We will start today (and it will last until January 20th)

  • Incentive: The top 5 most creative posts will be officially featured on the ESDR website!

The Young ESDR will start the submissions soon — can you do better?
