Life, Death and Everything in Between Research Festival 12 a Big Draw By Rich McManus
It was as if some giant had grabbed the NIH campus by the corner
up near the firehouse on Old Georgetown Rd. and tilted it so that
everything slid helplessly toward the Natcher Bldg. Oct. 6-9 as the
12th version of Research Festival (originally only a daylong event)
drew many hundreds of NIH'ers to a ravishing feast of intramural
science. For a 3-day stretch, Natcher and its environs were to
science what Bethesda is to restaurants -- a teeming smorgasbord of
tasty possibilities.
SRO for Prions By Rich McManus
Fifteen minutes before he was to take the podium to deliver NIA's
annual Florence Mahoney Lecture on Aging on Oct. 14, neurologist
Dr. Stanley Prusiner, last year's winner of the Nobel Prize for
physiology or medicine, had drawn so large a crowd that people
were turned away at the Masur Auditorium door.
