![]() Mourning the Passing of Dr. William PollinMany of our NIDA and NIMH colleagues join us in mourning the passing of noted psychiatrist and former NIDA director Dr. William Pollin, on January 25 at the age of 85. Dr. Pollin was NIDA's second director, from 1975-1985 and on staff at NIMH from 1956-1971.
Dr. Pollin's passing reminds us that NIH's success has been built not only on the scientific excellence of those who came before us but also on their public health vision. Funeral services for Dr. Pollin were held on Monday, January 28. The Washington Post had an interesting article on Dr. Pollin on January 31; for your convenience were are including the link. Sincerely, Nora D. Volkow, M.D. Link to Washington Post Obituary - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/ 01/30/AR2008013003984.html 113007 times since 2/1/08 |
