• THE GILBERT W. BEEBE SYMPOSIUM
  
  In the fall of each year, The National Academies NRSB sponsors an Annual Gilbert W. Beebe Symposium named in honor of the distinguished National Cancer Institute scientist whose many years as a statistician and epidemiologist before his death in 2003 spanned several careers. While at the National Academy of Sciences, Gil worked with Seymour Jablon to organize the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission research program and cohorts which have been used to study the late health effects of radiation exposure in Japanese A-bomb survivors. The series of Beebe Symposia is intended to focus on important issues related to radiation risk assessment. Typically, each program includes an Honorary Chair selected for his/her contributions to radiation science and speakers recognized for their expertise in the selected theme.
  
  An agenda will be available about 2 weeks prior to each meeting. If you are not on our mailing list and would like to be added please send an email to:
