It is my distinct pleasure and honor to be introducing Dr. Russell Chesney, this year's recipient of the John Howland Award. I assume many of you know Dr. Chesney and I hope through this introduction all of you will concur that Dr. Chesney is a worthy recipient of the Howland award.

Dr. Chesney was born and raised in East Tennessee, completed secondary school at St. Andrews in Delaware, and received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University in biology and a medical degree from the University of Rochester. He spent 1 y in a predoctoral program in the Department of Physiology at the University of Rochester studying renal physiology. His internship and residency was at the Harriet Lane Service at Johns Hopkins University, which included time in research at the National Institutes of Child Health and Development with Dr. Bert Sacktor. Dr. Chesney then completed his training in a fellowship in Montreal in nephrology with Dr. Keith Drummond and in biochemical genetics with last year's Howland Awardee, Dr. Charles Scriver.
