EADV Podcast

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. Dedee Murrell speaks with Prof. Carmen Salavastru, former Secretary General of the EADV, about her remarkable professional journey and her vision for the future of European dermatology.

From training in Bucharest to becoming one of the Academy’s key leaders, Prof. Salavastru reflects on how access to education, mentorship, and international collaboration shaped her career. The conversation explores her dual path in dermatology and physiology, her pioneering work linking skin and systemic disease, and the creation of national programmes for rare skin conditions.

They also discuss leadership, resilience, work–life balance, and the importance of expanding educational opportunities for dermatologists across Europe and beyond. The episode offers both inspiration and practical insight for clinicians at every stage of their career.

In this episode of the EADV Podcast, Prof. Carle Paul (JEADV Editor -in-Chief) and Prof. Antonio Torrelo (JEADV Clinical Practice Editor-in-Chief) discuss the art and science of editorial decision-making, the balance between evidence and intuition, and the growing role of patient-centred content, from plain-language summaries to patient-authored contributions. The editors also share practical advice for authors, including what makes a submission stand out and how strong visuals and clarity can elevate a paper’s impact.

The conversation closes with a forward-looking exchange on artificial intelligence, reminding listeners that while technology may assist, it’s human insight, empathy, and originality that continue to define great publishing.
