Clinical Trials Day is celebrated around the world in May to recognize the day that James Lin started what is often considered the first randomized clinical trial aboard a ship on May 20, 1747, establishing that citrus fruits could help scurvy in sailors. The aim of the day is to recognize the people who conduct clinical trials, to acknowledge what they do every day to improve public health and promote awareness of clinical trials. Teams and individuals used the 'selfie templates' to promote who they are and what they do.
