- W2158271743 abstract "Dr. George W. Comstock, a specialist in the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis, was also a cardiovascular disease epidemiologist, a cancer epidemiologist, and a molecular epidemiologist. In short, he was the equivalent of a primary care practitioner—‘‘a generalist’’ in the field of public health and the science of epidemiology but expert in all. He was ‘‘ahead of the curve’’ in many ways, doing ‘‘translational research’’ before it was called ‘‘translational research,’’ just as he did molecular and social epidemiology before those terms were coined or came into vogue. He has left a legacy in almost every aspect of public health. A welldone literature search on almost any topic will produce at least one reference authored by Dr. Comstock. The range of topics is astounding, from church attendance and impact on mortality (1) to genetic polymorphisms and cancer risk (2). Dr. Comstock thought ‘‘out of the box’’ but kept ideas ‘‘in the box.’’ He was the ‘‘go to’’ person for students in need of a topic. I was one of those students searching for a thesis topic. He would pull out his ‘‘idea box’’ containing 3- 3 5inch index cards, and a plethora of research topics would be at your fingertips; all were topics that would make a difference in public health. He had a topic for me that was feasible and novel, and it launched my longtime association with Dr. Comstock and the CLUE cohort studies. It was one of the best choices for my career, not for the impact of that particular study but for the valuable lessons I learned for ‘‘out of the box’’ thinking and my subsequent transition from student to colleague. His breadth of activities made choosing which of his papers to republish in this special edition a daunting task. When preparing to speak at his memorial service, I was asked to list two or three articles of his in the area of cancer epidemiology to be on a total list of articles that would be highlighted. I found that to be impossible and prepared a list of 14 articles, placing them under categories such as ‘‘shows insight to do critical methodological investigations—not glamorous or fundable but necessary for research’’ or" @default.
