The George E Palade Medal is the highest honor awarded by the International Association of Pancreatology and is given to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the understanding of the pancreas and pancreatic diseases. Professor David C Whitcomb, University of Pittsburgh, is the 2015 recipient. The Palade Lecture, presented in Shanghai, China on August 28, 2015, included 5 personal stories that provide perspective from a life-time of achievement: "My life in a nutshell"; "Two old ladies"; "7777"; "I helped put a man on the moon"; and "Rugby". Together, the stories provide encouragement to a younger generation, struggling to find their way as physicians and scientists who are working on pancreatic or other diseases in a challenging world.
