Presidential NIH Visits: John F. Kennedy, 1962

Like many visiting scientists of the time, Dr. Joe Hin Tjio and his wife Inga were invited to live on the NIH campus in Building 20. In 1959, the Tjios moved in, largely because "I wanted to remain within walking distance of my lab," he said. Inga added mischievously, "It was because my husband never drove a car!"
