Tomorrow is #LungHealthDay. Did you know nearly 25 million people in the U.S. have asthma? The NIH NHLBI leads many national programs for lung diseases, like asthma. Its National Asthma Education and Prevention Program began in 1989 to raise awareness for the chronic illness.

From 1960 and 1981, National Cancer Institute (in partnership with Dept. of Agriculture) tested 30,000+ natural products to find a potential cancer treatment. They found promise in the Pacific Yew tree and, with NIH Technology Transfer, developed it into Taxol, a treatment for breast cancer.

Was NIH more academic than a university? That’s the idea highlighted by Stetten Fellow Dr. Buhm Soon Park in his 2000 lecture on NIDDK Laboratory of Molecular Biology. Agree? Disagree? Learn more here: bit.ly/3BrX3nj.

Happy Halloween! We hope you have as much fun as these preschoolers who trick-or-treated in Building 1 in 2003. NIH Director Dr. Elias Zerhouni made a good decision when he stocked up on plenty of candy!

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for our Baltimore colleagues The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and NIDAnews for sharing both their history and their cutting-edge research with during a recent visit.

Happy Holidays! Institutes, centers, and laboratories have celebrated the holiday season differently over the years. The Frederick Cancer Research Center at National Cancer Institute featured different, cheerful illustrations on the cover of their newsletters in 1974 and 1975.

Are you ready for the holidays? In 1976, staff at the NIH Clinical Center decorated multiple Christmas trees with bows, gingerbread men, and candy canes. We hope your holiday decorating is just as cheerful.

On this day, Dec 12, 1980, the NIH Clinical Center was officially renamed the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center, honoring Senator Magnuson’s dedication to biomedical research and healthcare. Today, we celebrate a legacy of innovation and a commitment to health for all.

Season’s greeting from Fogarty at NIH. This 1982 card was illustrated by NIHer Brent Jaquet, who was also chief of the public information section @NICHD_News. A gifted artist, he captured Fogarty perfectly in this snowy landscape.

Happy New Year from ONHM! This month, we’ll reflect on the past year. From new exhibits to important collections, our team has been hard at work. We look forward to bringing you more history in 2025.

After the death of Dr. Gary Felsenfeld, NIDDK, in 2024, our office preserved his important papers and objects, including a door where Felsenfeld proudly featured every misspelling of his name. When he moved buildings, so did the door, and now it has become part of history.
