It was a great and humbling honor to receive the 2016 Distinguished Career Award
from my SSIB colleagues. This paper summarizes the major points of my DCA talk at
the 2016 annual meeting. It is a reflection on my 50year medical and research
career and 10 lessons I have learned over those years which might be of help to
young investigators near the beginning of their own research careers. These
lessons include: the value of being receptive to the opportunities provided you;
how clinician-scientists can serve as critical role models for young
investigators like me and a history of how my career developed as a result of
their influence; the importance of carefully examining your own data,
particularly when it doesn't agree with your preconceived ideas; the critical
role that students, postdocs and PhD (and even veterinarian) colleagues can play
in developing one's career; the likelihood that your career path will have many
interesting twists and turns determined by changes in your own scientific
interests and how rewarding various areas of research focus are to you; the
importance of building a close-knit laboratory staff family; the fact that
science and romance can mix. Finally, I offer 3 somewhat self-evident free pieces
of advice for building and maintaining a rewarding career.
