By Rich McManus
Wearing plastic hardhats and gripping mini-shovels, nine
preschoolers from the NIH day care facility in Bldg. 35 helped a
similar number of adults break ground recently on the new East
Child Care Center, which is being built just east of the Natcher
Bldg., near Rockville Pike. Scheduled for completion in April 2001,
the 21,000-square-foot center will house some 100
children — about 80 in a pre-kindergarten program, and 20 in
kindergarten. The facility will provide a new home for the Parents
of Preschoolers, Inc., program in Bldg. 35 for kids ages 2 ½ to
5 ½, which will eventually close due to renovation in that building.
NIH To Study How Genes Affect Response to Medicines By Alison Davis
Did you know that according to a recent study, 2 million people
were hospitalized in one year alone for reactions to properly
prescribed medicines? That certain allergy medicines work wonders
for some people but not for others? That a normally safe dose of a
certain cancer drug can kill a child who has an unusual gene type? |
