Abstract

I would like to believe that the internal satisfaction derived from research and the training of new scientific minds are compensations in themselves, but external awards are treasures. For me the Landis Award is especially sweet. That my research on the biology of endothelial cells has contributed to the understanding of microvascular functions has not always been a clear-cut case. I can recall a platform presentation I made in the early 1970s on cultured aortic endothelial cells and serotonin transport. Fortunately I talked for almost all of the allotted time. The audience’s stillness after the presentation was deafening. One person asked a question, but that was several hours later at the cocktail social before the banquet. Ben Zweifach said something to the effect, “David you really think these cells of yours behave as if they are in a vessel?” I wanted to reply, “Ben, you can bet the ranch they do,” but I only nodded as I gulped my beer.
