The National Institutes of Health (NIH) campuses host a variety of events that inform, challenge, and unite the biomedical research community. IRP investigators lead or participate in many of these events, and they regularly present their work at scientific conferences at the NIH and around the world. We invite you to learn about (and possibly join us in) some of our upcoming events. Unless otherwise noted, times listed are Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Join Emily Graslie, creator of "The Brain Scoop" YouTube channel, as she shares her personal journey from studio artist to science communicator, and shares ways for making science of every kind relatable to broad audiences.
Emily Graslie is an artist, science communicator and writer, video host, and educational media producer. From 2013-2020 she worked as the first-ever ‘Chief Curiosity Correspondent’ for the Field Museum in Chicago, creating more than 200 episodes for The Brain Scoop, a natural history-themed YouTube channel whose videos have been viewed tens of millions of times by people around the world.
In 2020 she made her broadcast television debut on PBS in Prehistoric Road Trip, an original three-part series exploring the paleontology and natural history of the Dakotas, Montana and Wyoming. Today, she continues to create videos for The Brain Scoop as an independent producer in partnership with scientists, nature centers, and museums around the country.
Graslie has received numerous accolades for her work, including the American Alliance of Museum’s Nancy Hanks Award for Professional Excellence. She holds an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Allegheny College, and in 2018 researchers at the Universities of Florida and Paraná named a new species of butterfly in recognition of her outreach efforts: Wahydra graslieae.
This year's NIH Research Festival will be held September 23-25, with a Green Labs Fair on September 26. Join us to learn about a wide array of incredible research being done in the NIH Intramural Research Program. Scheduled sessions include talks on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) research at NIH; research presentations by participants in the NIH Distinguished Scholars Program; lectures by some of the IRP scientists recently elected to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS); and a scientific poster session. The deadline to submit an abstract for the poster session is Monday, July 22, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
This symposium will discuss the development of cell therapy for the treatment of human cancer, from early studies to the current state of the art of basic, clinical, and translational research utilizing T cells, T-cell receptors, and chimeric antigen receptors.
