NIDCR's Lois Salzman Is Remembered
NIDCR director Dr. Harold Slavkin pays tribute to the late Dr. Lois
Salzman as "someone who was genuinely excited by science."
NIDCR has established an annual lecture to honor the memory of
Salzman, a special assistant to the director who died in May. The
first lecture took the form of a symposium called "The Joy of
Discovery" that celebrated her life. Held July 9 in Wilson Hall, the
symposium featured scientists who had worked with Salzman
talking about their recollections of her and about their scientific
discoveries that were highlights in their research careers. The
audience included her family, friends and colleagues.

Cartoon Watchers Benefit NIH Charities
Angelica (r), the decidedly un-angelic character from the cartoon series Rugrats, visited NIH recently to indulge in uncharacteristic altruism — she presented a check for $6,000 to the NIH charities. Her mission was sponsored by the Washington Baltimore Cable Council and Pay-Per-View Network, Inc., who contributed $1 to NIH charities for every viewer who tuned into Rugrats during the month of June. Angelica also visited patients at the Clinical Center and the Children's Inn during her visit. Here she greets Matt Wright, 18, of Elkhart, Ind., who is an NIAID patient.
