On Nov. 11, the Department of Epidemiology honored long-time professor Robert Wallace, whose career in public health spans nearly five decades. His contributions include authoring or co-authoring more than 500 peer-reviewed papers, teaching and mentoring hundreds of students, and providing leadership in administrative and service roles.

The celebratory event included a half-day symposium exploring innovative methods and questions, advances and opportunities in the field of epidemiology. The symposium’s keynote speaker was David Melzer, professor of epidemiology and public health at Exeter University, and recipient of the department’s Hsu-Li Distinguished Lectureship.
