The Louis I. and Thomas D. Dublin Award Dr.
Thomas Dublin, a 1941 graduate of the Johns Hopkins University Department
of Epidemiology, established this award in 1999 to honor his
father,
Dr. Louis Dublin, a distinguished biostatistician who was a
forerunner in
his field and served as a vice president at the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company in New York.
Knowing
that biostatistics and epidemiology have long been united by a
tradition
of collaboration, exemplified by the notable partnership of Lowell
Reed and Wade Hampton Frost, who investigated the dynamics
of
epidemics and disease distribution in populations, Dr. Dublin felt
strongly about establishing a fund to support students with a joint
focus
in these two disciplines. Therefore, the
Louis I. and Thomas D. Dublin Award for the Advancement of
Epidemiology
and Biostatistics supports
those
students whose research focuses on the effective use of statistical
reasoning and methods in epidemiology.
