The Gilbert W. Beebe Symposium

In progress

Topics

The Gilbert W. Beebe symposium was established by the Board on Radiation Effects Research (a predecessor of the Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board) in 2002 to honor the scientific achievements of the late Dr. Gilbert W. Beebe (National Cancer Institute), who was one of the designers and key implementers of the epidemiology studies of Japanese atomic bomb survivors and co-founder of the Medical Follow-up Agency. The symposium is used to promote discussions among scientists, federal staff, and other interested parties concerned with radiation health effects.
