Learning About Medical Mobile Apps
The January 28, 2014 Faculty Educator Development Seminar was presented by Joshua Steinberg, MD,
Assistant Professor, Dept. of Family Medicine at the Binghamton Clinical Campus. Dr. Steinberg gave the
seminar attendees helpful information about medical apps for mobile devices. The Faculty Educator
Development Seminars are conducted on the fourth Tuesday of each month. All Upstate faculty members are
invited and encouraged to attend. The topics presented at each seminar are informative and useful. Lunch is
always provided. The Faculty Educator Development Committee also sponsors monthly Medical Education
Journal Club Meetings hosted by Thomas Poole, PhD, Associate Professor, Dept. of Cell & Developmental
Biology. The FED committee invites journal club and seminar attendees to join them each June for an
Annual Faculty Scholars Dinner Workshop where a guest speaker presents information about various topics.
For more information about the Faculty Educator Development Seminars, the Medical Education Journal
Clubs, and the Annual Faculty Scholars Dinner Workshop, please contact Michele Henderson in the Office
of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development. Be sure to watch for e-mails and announcements in Upstate
Online and Upstate Announcements as well.

Awards
Honors & Awards ~ Congratulations to:
Ann S. Botash, MD, Pediatrics, was honored (along with Martha Ryan) for her
work with abused children and as a founder of the McMahon Ryan Child
Advocacy Center at the “Kick-off for Kids” event, Oct. 24, 2013.
Sharon Brangman, MD, Medicine, has been selected by the Institute of
Medicine (IOM) as one of a core group of seven individuals to participate in three
upcoming meetings of experts on advanced dementia. IOM is convening these
meetings for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the
Advisory Council on Alzheimer's Research, Care, and Services that was created
by the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA). The first meeting was on Jan.
28, 2014 in Washington, D.C.
Joseph Himmelsbach, PhD, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, received the
Lifetime Achievement Award from the Central NY Psychological Association.
During his 45 year career he developed many of the programs for the mentally
ill that we now take for granted. In his roles as Deputy Director for Clinical
Services and Chief of the Center for Children & Youth at Hutchings Psychiatric
Center, he developed the first mobile mental health crisis service, first
community housing programs, and first centralized admissions program. He also
consulted with, and developed state wide training programs for, the police and
sheriffs' offices to train them in working with the mentally ill. He has been and
still is a faculty member at SU and Upstate where he provides excellent
supervision in psychotherapy to the next generation. In later years, he became
actively involved in disaster mental health and provided direct service right after
9-11 and Hurricane Katrina.
Michael Iannuzzi, MD, Chair, Medicine, has been named one of the world’s top
experts in the field of sarcoidosis research and treatment by Expertscape, an
organization dedicated to helping consumers find health professionals with
extensive expertise in their specific area of concern. Expertscape uses objective
algorithms to identify the most knowledgeable and experienced physicians,
clinicians and researchers across more than 26,000 specific topics, stratified by
geography. Expertscape defines an expert as someone who has published peer-
reviewed research in the science, therapies, and complications for a specific
medical topic.

Rosemary Rochford, PhD, Microbiology & Immunology, has received the
International Citizen of the Year award from the International Center of Syracuse
(ICS). The award was presented at the ICS’ 2013 Central New York International
Citizen Awards Dinner on Nov. 8 at Onondaga Community College. Dr.
Rochford is Vice President for Research. She is a NIH-funded researcher for her
studies on associated lymphomas, malaria and Epstein-Barr virus and is a noted
expert in the field of endemic Burkitt’s lymphoma, and the role the Epstein-Barr
virus plays in the disease, which is the most common childhood cancer in sub-
Saharan Africa. She established the Equatorial Africa Children’s Cancer Fund to
help children being treated at the Nyanza Provincial Hospital, and developed a
model to test hemolytic toxicity of anti-malaria drugs resulting in funding from
Medicines for Malaria Venture and Department of Defense.

In Memoriam
David W. Temple, 70, a former grants administrator at
Upstate from 1976 to 2010, died recently. Dave was an honors graduate of
Clarkson College with a Business degree in Accounting and a member of Alpha
Kappa Psi Fraternity. He was a member of the Boys from Syracuse Air National
Guard Unit.
"Dave was an exemplary grants administrator," said Ken Barker, the former Vice
President for Research, now retired. "One of the things I remember being
impressed with early on was his ability to do any and all things to get a grant out.
Prior to the electronic submission we have today, you needed someone like Dave
to craft and format the document. He would work 24 hours straight if
necessary," said Barker. "He was totally committed to that job and our
institution. He also had a wry sense of humor that I enjoyed immensely."
Survivors include Cathy Temple; his daughters, Christin (Todd) Temple-Creller
and Tracy (Eric) Cheney; granddaughters, Grace and Emma Cheney; a niece,
Kelly Temple and a nephew, Timothy Temple; a sister-in-law, Carol Temple and
many friends and acquaintances including close friend Bruce Schauer. A special
thank you to the Nurses on 6B, University Hospital.
Ronald R. Young, 65, Vice President for Public and
Governmental Affairs at Upstate until 2007, passed away
January 15 at his home in Bluffton, SC.
Ron had a long association with Upstate before assuming his
Vice President role. A leading citizen of the region, he was
for many years a member of the Governor-appointed Council
to the Upstate Medical University. A graduate of
Nottingham High School and his beloved Hampton
University, he spent the bulk of his professional career as an
executive at Agway, Inc. in the Central New York area.
Ron placed a high value on community service, which he exhibited through his
leadership roles on boards for the United Way of Central New York, Central New
York Community Foundation, and Greater Syracuse Chamber of Commerce.

Ron was known nationally for his longtime membership and commitment to his
fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc., where he served in many leadership roles, rising
to International Grand Polemarch (President). In 2011, he was the centennial
recipient of the Fraternity's highest honor, The Laurel Wreath.
“I always admired Ron’s energy and presence with people. He had a wonderful
way of conducting himself," said Upstate Interim President Greg Eastwood. "I
was so pleased when he joined my management team and I had the opportunity to
work closely with him. He was intimately connected to the Central New
York community and it was rare to go into a room with him when he didn’t know
most people there. Lynn and I feel a personal loss and send our heartfelt
condolences to Jacquie and Ron's mother and daughters. This is sad news for
everyone associated with Upstate.”
Survivors include wife, Jacqueline M. Jackson-Young and three daughters,
Jenelle R. Pope of California (Che'), Nicole C. Collier of Maryland (Brent), and
Whitney M. Young of Georgia. He is also survived by his mother,
Alberta "Peaches" Young of Syracuse and brother, John A. Young (Tonette) of
Syracuse, and three grandchildren, Kaya and Ethan Pope and Davis Collier.
