An Affinity for Blair High NIDDK Mentor Nurtures Tomorrow's Science Stars By Rich McManus Grace Lin, a senior at Montgomery Blair High School, works at confocal microscope in Bldg. 8. There is something almost messianic in the debut of a science prodigy, and something almost apocryphal when six of them flare like supernovae at one time, at one high school. Thus it was when Grace C. Lin, 17, and five of her classmates at Montgomery Blair High School's Science and Math Magnet Program were announced as finalists in the Intel (formerly Westinghouse) Science Talent Search in late January.
President Submits FY 2000 President Clinton's FY 2000 budget provides $15.9 billion for NIH, a $320 million increase or 2.1 percent over the 1999 level. Foreseen in the investment is a continuation of advances in fundamental science, especially in genetics, structural biology, molecular and cell biology, neuroscience, computer science and imaging technologies, according to budget papers.
