WAMU announcement in honor of Bob Weisberg

This is NPR.  Good evening.  You are listening to WAMU 88.5 at 4:59
it's 42 degrees.  Today's programs are made possible in part by the
Lambda Lunch Bacterial Interest Group at NIH in memory of their
esteemed colleague and friend Bob Weisberg who is greatly missed.





*  Over the next three weeks there will be a series of minisymposia/seminars by the first-round selections for the NIH-Wide Earl Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator Search.  This is already a highly selected group of applications (top 5%), so worth hearing.  The link for all of the talks:  https://ccrod.cancer.gov/confluence/x/cwJdB
