Varmus Counsels Successor, Eyes Future in Final Remarks to
Press
By Rich McManus (Second of two parts)
Just before his 73-month tenure as NIH director ended last month,
Dr. Harold Varmus spoke at length about the future of NIH, gave
advice to his successor, and discussed gene therapy, campus
security and other matters. Even though he takes over as head of
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City on Feb.
1, don't be surprised if you bump into him on campus; he advised
NIH'ers in an all-hands email on his last official day at work that he
is still a special volunteer at NCI and remains in charge of the
Varmus Lab in Bldg. 49 until that laboratory migrates to MSKCC in
April.
In the Company of Excellence By Christina Stile
If you want to learn a new language, some people suggest you spend
time in a country where people speak only that language. For
instance, living in Germany will help you learn German. But can you
apply this same theory to other concepts? If you surround yourself
with scientists, for example, are you more likely to learn concepts of
science?
