Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 1:30 to 2:30pm

Masur Auditorium, NIH Clinical Center (Building 10); and NIH Videocast

This edition of the J. Edward Rall Cultural Lecture — part of NIH's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS) — will be presented by Vinton G. Cerf, Ph.D., who has served as vice president and chief Internet evangelist for Google since October 2005. In this role, he contributes to global policy development and continued standardization and spread of the Internet. He is also an active public face for Google in the Internet world.

Widely known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” Cerf is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. In December, 1994, People magazine identified Cerf as one of that year’s “25 Most Intriguing People.” In December 1997, President Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his colleague, Robert E. Kahn, for founding and developing the Internet.

The lecture in Masur Auditorium is open to all NIH staff via tickets distributed by NIH's Institutes and Centers. Members of the general public and NIH staff who do not receive a ticket to the event from their IC can watch the lecture live online via NIH Videocast.
