The 'Mazing Web NIH Internet Presence Looms Large By Joan Chamberlain
Even the most computer savvy have
trouble keeping up with the flood of new World Wide Web
technologies coming into the market these days. "Forget
surfing anymore. We're riding a tidal wave," says DCRT's Dr.
Dale Graham, head of the NIH Web Interest Group. So swift is
the pace of change that some in the computer industry now
measure time by the "Internet year." This is the equivalent
of about 3 calendar months, when major new tools emerge and
the web expands another dimension, further transforming how
we get information to and from the outside world.
Seminar Explores Women's Health The ORWH Women's Health Seminar Series kicks off the 1996-97 season with a look at "Women's Health in the Middle and Later Years." The program will begin at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5 in Masur Auditorium, Bldg. 10. Aging is a dynamic process in which
gradual and sudden change occur both in health and
functioning and in social environmental factors. These
changes may be independent or in response to one another.
Dr. Eleanor Simonsick, NIA, will open the program with an
"Overview: Social and Psychological Health." She will focus
on indicators of social connection and measures of
psychological health. | |||
