Join the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series As It Enters Its 30th Season
The NIH Director’s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS) began in 1994, when Harold Varmus, still in his first year as NIH director, envisioned a dedicated time each week for NIH colleagues to gather in a lecture hall and hear from remarkable invited speakers about their recent scientific results and breakthroughs, regardless of the discipline. Thirty years on, WALS is NIH’s highest-profile lecture program. Will you join us for this year's special 30th anniversary season?
