The Frederick Diversity Committee’s mentor-mentee mixer gave research trainees, senior investigators, scientists, and administrative staff a chance to meet and mingle over refreshments and games following the Spring Research Festival.

Recent accomplishments and upcoming initiatives at the Frederick National Laboratory (FNL) were the hottest topics at the recent Frederick National Laboratory Advisory Committee (FNLAC) meeting. Here are some excerpts, accompanied by time stamps from the videocast.

The lobby of Building 549 at NCI at Frederick bustled with activity for two hours on Tuesday, May 1, as several dozen scientists and staff gathered for the NCI Core Open House. The event aimed to encourage discussion and educate visitors about the capabilities of the cores, laboratories, and facilities that offer support to NCI’s Center for Cancer Research.

Clouds and rain finally gave way this week just in time for Occupational Health Services’ March on the Monocacy event. More than 20 people came out to enjoy the beautiful spring day and walk the 1.4-mile course at the Advanced Technology Research Facility.

This year’s annual Spring Research Festival, scheduled for May 9 and 10, is nearly here. As usual, it is free and open to the public and promises to offer a forum for sharing scientific research and celebrating collaboration at Fort Detrick and NCI at Frederick.
