An unpredictable winter has finally given way to spring, and as the trees and shrubs come into bloom, the Spring Research Festival is now just over a month away.

On Wednesday, June 28, the NCI grounds will be filled with the chatter and laughter of children for the 21st annual Take Your Child to Work Day event. Every year, the event aims to spark children’s interest in science through a variety of programs and activities.

More than 200 employees showed up to sample spicy and savory concoctions at the 14th annual Protective Services Chili Cook-Off at NCI at Frederick.

The American Heart Association (AHA) has recognized February as American Heart Month since President Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 proclamation made it an annual occurrence.

For the third year in a row, the R&W Club of Frederick has sponsored the Annual Holiday Decorating contest, and the bar is only getting higher with each competition.

Even on a brisk fall day, NCI at Frederick employees came out to enjoy a walk during their lunch hour at the latest Occupational Health Services (OHS) Walk for Health event. It was the third such event that OHS has sponsored in 2016.
