About the Gordon Lecture
The Gordon Lecture is part of the NIH's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS), whose goal is to keep NIH researchers abreast of the latest and most important research in the United States.
The Gordon Lecture was established in 1995 in tribute to Dr. Gordon for his outstanding contributions to the field of epidemiology and for his distinguished service to the National Institutes of Health.
