FY 2004 Budget Roll-Out President Bush Announces 'Project BioShield' at NIH During Visit By Rich McManus
Varmus Portrait Dedicated in Bldg. 1 By Rich McManus
Three years after leaving directorship of NIH to head Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, Dr. Harold
Varmus returned on Jan. 15 for the formal unveiling of his
portrait a tradition observed by all past NIH directors. At a
Wilson Hall ceremony attended by many of his former colleagues
and recruits, Varmus gave an art history lesson explaining the
portrait, which includes him in the foreground, seated and looking
gregarious in an open-collared shirt, and a prominent backdrop
featuring a famous painting, executed by Jacques Louis David in
1788, of French scientist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier and his wife
Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze. |
