NIH Record Marks 70th Anniversary

On May 20, 1949, the NIH Record debuted on campus. It has been published continuously since then, a product of the Office of the Director’s Office of Communications and Public Liaison. For 70 years, the newsletter has had the privilege of telling NIH stories about itself, a biweekly snapshot of the progress of medical research at its leading edge.
