这一年让我思考了时间以及我们如何相互联系。任何人在这个世界的任何部分阅读这知道，这是最奇怪和最困难的一年，我们将（希望）永远生活。当你们不能在一起的时候，你们怎么保持联系？直接跟人说话？面对面地讨论科学？在线平台让我们彼此接触。尽管它们可能是有限的，但它们起作用的原因是因为已经存在一个连通性的基础。高血压理事会，我的科学家自1992年以来，有这个非常强大的基础。高血压理事会第74届会议于2020年9月成功举行，证明了这一点。我非常感谢我们的领导人--Curt Sigmund博士、Karen Griffin博士、所有理事会领导人，以及美国心脏协会（AHA）唯一的Susan Kunish--能够实现这一目标。我对召开这次会议所需的组织工作感到敬畏。这与我们习惯的秋季会议不同：会议的第一天晚上，我们的学员参加了海报比赛，伴随着一点葡萄酒，食物和朋友;当你坐在科学家面前演讲时，口头演讲挑战你的想法并帮助你学习;海报会议，你可以与他人深入谈论科学;高血压卓越奖晚宴，我们荣誉那些在高血压研究中开拓新道路的人。我将是失职，不提实习生宣传混合器，其中所有与会者都被邀请。我在这次活动中与许多同事一起跳舞，我更好，因为我们分享了人类的经验。虽然今年的会议不是我们所希望的，但仍然发生了很好的事情。参加这次会议的不同会议，深入研究海报介绍，并与你们交谈，我的同事们，每天都在网上微笑。我们可以谈论科学，因为我们知道这个科学家家庭-这个委员会-致力于研究，我们可以互相提问，询问一个人的研究是什么。这一基础至少是这一做法可行的一个原因（以及令人敬畏的组织！）。我很荣幸地给什么是第13（！）哈里特杜斯坦讲座在这个2020年的虚拟会议。医学博士哈里特·皮尔逊·杜斯坦（图1）是该杂志的第一任主编，该杂志由AHA出版。她也是AHA的第二位女主席，以及美国内科医学委员会理事会的第一位女性。艾德·弗罗利希博士也是该杂志的前任主编，在杜斯坦博士于1999年去世时，他为她写了一篇美丽的纪念文章。[1]他描述了她对这个理事会的成立有多么重要，她来到克利夫兰诊所的研究部门，为欧文·H. Page和亚瑟博士C.科科伦（这两位杰出的科学家也有以他们命名的理事会奖项！）。她的工作在我们现在认为理所当然的一些机制和抗高血压药物上取得了突破：氯噻嗪的作用，钠和肥胖在高血压中的作用，仅举几例。我认为，她的工作和她的存在也是这个理事会基础的一部分。因此，我希望将那些与Dustan博士有时间距离的人-我们目前的学员-与自Dustan奖成立以来一直被授予Dustan奖的人联系起来。在我的要求下，
This year has made me think about time and how we connect with one another. Anyone in any part of this world reading this knows that this has been the strangest and most difficult year that we will (hopefully) ever live. How do you keep connected when you can’t actually be with one another? Talk directly with someone? Argue science face to face? Online platforms have been magnificent for allowing us to touch one another. The reason they work, limited though they may be, is because there is a foundation of connectedness that already exists. The Council on Hypertension, my scientific home since 1992, has this very strong foundation. This was evidence by the successful 74th conference of the Council on Hypertension, held virtually in September 2020. My immense thanks to our leaders—Dr Curt Sigmund, Dr Karen Griffin, all council leaders, as well as the one and only Susan Kunish of the American Heart Association (AHA)—for being able to make this happen. The organizational work necessary for executing this meeting is something of which I am in awe. This was not the same as the fall meeting we are used to: poster competition for our trainees on the first night of the meeting accompanied by a little wine, food, and friends; oral presentations that challenge what you think and help you learn while you sit before the scientist speaking; poster sessions where you can talk deeply about science with others; the Excellence in Hypertension dinner where we honor those that tread new paths in hypertension research. I would be remiss in not mentioning the Trainee Advocacy Mixer, to which all attendees are invited. I’ve danced with so many of my colleagues at this event, and I am better for it because we share together a human experience.Though this year’s meeting was not what we had hoped for, excellent things still happened. Engaging in the different sessions of this meeting, delving into the poster presentations, and talking with you, my colleagues, online put a smile on my face every day. We could talk about science because we knew this family of scientists—this council—was committed to research, and we could push one another in questions, in asking the so whats of one’s research. This foundation is at least one reason why this could work (as well as the awesome organization!). I was privileged to give what is the 13th (!) Harriet Dustan Lecture at this 2020 virtual meeting. Dr Harriet Pearson Dustan, MD (Figure 1), was the first Editor-in-Chief of this journal, published by the AHA. She was also the second woman president of the AHA, as well as the first woman on the Board of Governors of the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr Ed Frohlich, also a past Editor-in-Chief of this journal, wrote a beautiful memorial for Dr Dustan when she passed away in 1999. 1 He describes how important she was to the genesis of this council, arriving at the Research Division of the Cleveland Clinic to work the Dr Irvine H. Page and Dr Arthur C. Corcoran (these two distinguished scientists also have Council awards named after them!). Her work broke ground on some of the mechanisms and antihypertensive medications we now take for granted: the actions of chlorothiazide, the role of sodium and obesity in hypertension to name just a few. Her work and her presence, I would argue, is also part of the foundation of this council. It is thus that I wished to connect those that are a distance in time from Dr Dustan—our current trainees—to those that have been honored with the Dustan Award since its inception. At my request, the Trainee Advocacy
