Nature’s Glory
When the NIH Record asked readers to share images of nature, two photographers took the assignment to new levels.
Past Year, a Time of Learning
Janice Solomon, a lead IT specialist in the NIH Office of the Director, took these photographs in her Maryland neighborhood during spring and early summer 2020.
Practicing Self-Care for a Healthy Heart During the Pandemic and Beyond
A global pandemic may have had much of the NIH staff working from home this year, but they still celebrated American Heart Month…just in a virtual kind of way. And for the annual kickoff—National Wear Red Day, Feb. 5—well, that was like none other.
Seasonal Challenge—Staying Fit
The Record asked readers how they were moving toward their fitness goals as weather challenges emerge.
Nature—For the Birds
The Record asked readers for images of nature. Dr. Michael Bender, program director in NIGMS’s Division of Genetics and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, sent in several bird photos shown here. He takes pictures in Rock Creek Park, at Hains Point and at Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on the Potomac, located on Columbia Island.
Readers Stay Active, Healthy
As temperatures drop, how are you moving toward your fitness goals these days? Some NIH'ers share their recent fitness journeys.
Nature Preserved
Most staff in the Clinical Center department of bioethics are teleworking. So, early on, plants from their offices and common areas were assembled on a table in the department library. Those who are physically present water them weekly and generally look after them. Department members believe the plants are thriving from being together.
Appreciating Natural Wonders
Acknowledging this year’s unusual circumstances, the Record asked its readers to share images of nature’s beauty, and they haven’t disappointed.
