I am privileged, and personally delighted, to present one of this year's Alfred Newton Richards Awards to Isidore S. Edelman. The occasion is particularly opportune for two reasons. First, in many of his studies, Dr. Edelman utilized the short circuit technique conceived and developed by his co-recipient, Hans Ussing. Second, for more than two decades, Dr. Edelman engaged in a gentle intellectual rivalry with Alexander Leaf, the recipient of the Richards Award two years ago, about the mechanism of action of aldosterone, a cardinal research interest of both Leaf and Edelman. |
