Editorial: Winners of the Seventh Dwight J. Ingle Memorial Writing Award

PERSPECTIVES IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE Volume 35 · Number 1 · Autumn 1991 EDITORIAL: WINNERS OF THE SEVENTH DWIGHTJ. INGLE MEMORIAL WRITING AWARD The seventh of our contests for authors under 36 years of age has closed with two winners who will share the $1,000 award. Twenty-three interesting papers were submitted; authors ranged in age from 14 to 36 years. The committee could not decide between two outstanding essays and thus declared Scott Norton from Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center and David Hyman from the University of Chicago the cowinners. Norton 's paper is entitled "Salt Consumption in Ancient Polynesia"; Flyman 's, "Professional Profiteering?: the Ethics of Physician Entrepreneurism ." Both papers will appear in subsequent issues of Perspectives. Several of the other competing essays will also be published. In the 15 years since the first competition we have published a number of splendid essays by articulate young scientists and physicians. The following titles of past winning articles illustrate the diversity of interests that characterizes the contents of our journal. "The Intractability of One Man: Hunterian Controversies"; "Fulfillment and Frustration: The Confession of a Behavioral Biochemist"; "The Grand Inquisitor and the Role of the State in Medical Economics"; "Chance Repetition and Error in the Development of the Nervous System"; "Intellectual Tradition in the Life Sciences II Stereocomplementarity"; and "How Scientists Really Think." Dwight Ingle, who founded Perspectives 36 years ago, would be proud indeed of the stimulation this competition has given to young authors, and the enrichment our readers have derived from their published works.—R.L.L.
