David Weeks Tribute Video
We are pleased to share a tribute video to David F. Weeks, which was created by the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO) and produced by Kevin Erdman, Pitch4Power.
This video, which premiered at AUPO's Annual Meeting in January 2022, is an expression of gratitude for Mr. Weeks' significant contributions to academic ophthalmology and a testimony to his kindness and generosity. Mr. Weeks was Chairman Emeritus of Research to Prevent Blindness and a driving force behind the creation of the National Institutes of Health's National Eye Institute.
