Last night we were in Washington to see Dick Wenzel receive the Maxwell Finland Award for Scientific Achievement from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. This award recognizes scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the understanding of infectious diseases or public health. Criteria for selection include excellence in clinical and/or research activities, participation in the training of future leaders in the field, and positive impact on the health of humankind.
Those of you who know me know that it's really rare for me to even wear a tie let alone a tuxedo! But it was a great time and certainly a well deserved honor for Dick.
