Attacks on U.S. Change Life at NIH By Rich McManus
The transition from peacetime's reliable routine to wartime anxiety
took place in only minutes as NIH employees came to work on an
otherwise spectacular late summer morning Sept. 11 and discovered
by 9:45 via office televisions, radio, the web, phone calls
and hallway conversations that terrorism on an almost
unimaginable scale was taking place in New York City and in the
heart of Washington, D.C. The workday froze as workers tuned in
to the news the World Trade Center towers in flames, and
smoke rising from behind the Old Executive Office building near the
White House. NINDS, NIMH Mark 50 Years of Neuroscience Research By Shannon E. Garnett
To commemorate their 50th anniversaries, NINDS and NIMH will
cosponsor a 2-day scientific symposium Celebrating 50

and translational research on neurological and psychiatric disorders.
