Like those who have preceded me I wish to say that I am delighted to be here on the occasion of the presentation of the Frohlich Award to Dr. Kenneth Warren. For me the venue, as well as the occasion, is special: about nine years ago I came to this auditorium to attend the first meeting of the Rockefeller Great Neglected Diseases (GND) network and with the specific objective of introducing myself to Ken Warren. I was an Assistant Professor and a molecular biologist who wanted to work on parasites; by the end of that year I had been adopted into the GND family and it was really Ken's encouragement and support that sustained my initial commitment to this field during the ensuing years of developing a program in this arena. Through the development of the GND family, Ken drew persons like myself into a community of scientists who together raised each others' expectations and standards. The dramatic progress in the field of parasitology that is reflected in the program of the symposium owes much to Ken and to his untiring effort and spirit. It has been a very exciting part of my life and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of that effort.
