(Building 35, Room 620-630); and onlineJoin us on July 9 for the inaugural seminar for the new National Smell and Taste Center (NSTC). Led by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, NSTC was formed through collaborations among several NIH intramural research programs to address the need to expand work in smell and taste research—a need that captured national attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing the state-of-the-art NIH Clinical Center, one of NSTC's primary goals is to translate research findings into clinical practice.
NSTC's first seminar will include cutting-edge research, panel presentations, and discussions on innovations, challenges, and opportunities for advancing smell and taste research.
Participants wishing to attend in person on the NIH campus must RSVP by July 1. No RSVP is required to attend via the live NIH videocast.
Music in the Atrium
All patients, their families and NIH staff are invited to attend the performances in the Clinical Center atrium. The north atrium is a comfortable, welcoming gathering place at the center of the Clinical Center. These concerts are intended to support the Clinical Center's environment of care and healing. Strict social distancing measures will be maintained. Health and safety are our main concern.
