"We're very pleased that Print Magazine showcased the NIMH design," said Clarissa Wittenberg, director, NIMH Office of Communications and Public Liaison. "This is one of the most prestigious contests in the design and advertising communities, so the award is an honor."
Print Magazine, which debuted in 1946, began its regional design annual in 1981 to recognize quality productions across the nation, displayed by locale rather than by category. Their Web site is at http://www.printmag.com.
Hallett Wins Visiting Professorship
Dr. Mark Hallett, chief of the Medical Neurology Branch and
clinical director, NINDS, was recently named the G. Milton Shy
visiting professor for the year 2000. The professorship was
established in 1971 to honor the memory of Shy, who developed the
intramural program of what is now NINDS in 1953 and became the
first chief of the institute's Medical Neurology Branch and its first
clinical director. Shy's contributions to the field of neurology are
numerous. Perhaps his most important contribution was the
discovery of five muscle diseases: central core disease, megaconial
myopathy, pleoconial myopathy, myotubular myopathy, and
nemaline myopathy. Each year members of the Shy Memorial Fund
select a neurologist to visit the three institutions — NIH,
Columbia University, and the University of
Pennsylvania — on which Shy had a great impact.
Kirschstein Congratulates QWL Awardees
NIH acting director Dr. Ruth Kirschstein congratulates Dr. Anne Miller-Chisholm of NIDCR and Jeff Fellows of ORS, two of the dozens of NIH'ers honored recently with 1999 Quality of Work Life
Awards, which recognize superior performance or special efforts to
advance the quality of work life at NIH, and as a result the quality
of science. They reinforce the growing importance of improving the
NIH workplace
and of helping employees balance their work and
personal lives. Nominations were evaluated according to individuals,
teams, and organizations that excelled in one or more of the six
areas of NIH's strategy to enhance work life quality: strengthen
family-friendly work programs, strengthen workplace learning and
change management activities, improve communication with
employees, promote effectiveness of diversity management, and
foster overall workplace improvement.
