Emphasis on Employees NIH Says 'Quality Worklife Equals Quality Science' By Carla Garnett
Downsize, reorganize and change. Three terms that can strike
uncertainty and fear in the heart of even the most well-adjusted,
productive workforce. In recent years, those terms -- no matter
how gently expressed -- often have been perceived only one way by
employees: "threat to job." Recognizing that, NIH has joined an
effort led by HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and top departmental
staff to take the bite out of those and other job-related issues that
weigh heavily on workers. Amid a festive rally atmosphere, NIH
took time to focus on its workforce, launching a week-long Quality
of Worklife celebration May 12-16.
NIH Honors Davies By Sharon Ricks
"When one discusses the three-dimensional shape of a protein at
NIH, three things immediately come to mind: the first is excellence,
the second is NIDDK, and the third is David Davies," remarked
NIDDK director Dr. Phillip Gorden, launching an all-day
symposium titled, "Structural Thinking in Molecular Biology."
"They don't necessarily have to be in that order, but they are
inextricably linked."
