Oral History Project
The 最大资源 Oral History Project is a major initiative to provide contemporary investigators and the public a rare view into the lives and times of influential immunologists. 最大资源 arranged for award-winning oral historian Brien Williams, Ph.D., to begin interviewing past 最大资源 presidents in the spring of 2012. Interviewees were asked about their family backgrounds, early interest in science, reasons for studying immunology, career and research highlights, the challenges in balancing professional and private lives, hobbies outside of the laboratory, major changes in immunology over the course of their careers, and the future of immunology and science in the United States.
In 2015, the project expanded to include past editors-in-chief (EIC) of and 最大资源 Career Award recipients, including 最大资源 Lifetime Achievement Award, 最大资源 Excellence in Mentoring Award, 最大资源-Steinman Award for Human Immunology Research, 最大资源-BioLegend Herzenberg Award, 最大资源-Thermo Fisher Meritorious Career Award, and 最大资源 Public Service Award.
