Since I first wrote about the death of former NIGMS director Dr. Ruth Kirschstein, plans have progressed for a daylong commemorative event on Monday, May 17, at NIH. The program will include several remembrances as well as scientific presentations and posters by recipients of the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award.
I will update you when the final program is available.
NIH has posted a preliminary program for the event commemorating Dr. Kirschstein. A live videocast will be available at http://videocast.nih.gov.
