PES - 50 Year Anniversary Timeline
The timeline project was designed to codify the rich history of pediatric endocrinology over the past 5 decades, since the creation of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES). We have also recorded some of the seminal events in basic, clinical, and translational endocrinology from our adult colleagues that have permitted better understanding and management of endocrine disorders of childhood and adolescence. We were not surprised to note that many members of (Lawson Wilkins) Pediatric Endocrine Society contributed to our ability to diagnose and treat children with endocrine disorders and diabetes mellitus. Each “sub”-specialty has a defined “mini”-timeline and the major goal is to weave all into one grand display at the 50th Anniversary meeting.
