Nathan W. Shock (1906–1989) was the head of the Gerontology Research Center of the National Institutes of Health for nearly 35 years - until 1976. He then became scientist emeritus at the center. Some people call him the "father of gerontology" (although the same title is also applied to Vladimir Korenchevsky and Ilya Mechnikov). He was one of the first scientists to foresee the importance of using longitudinal methods to study human aging. He clocked the rate at which different organs of the body age and showed that different individuals age at different rates.
