.NIEHS students acquired in Rodbell Auditorium April 8 to review NIEHS Trainees' Installation (NTA) tasks over recent year as well as its plans for the future.NTA co-chair Salahuddin Syed, Ph.D., an Intramural Instruction and Research Honor (IRTA) fellow in the Genome Stability as well as Structural The Field Of Biology Laboratory (GISBL), led the discussion as well as summarized the past year's accomplishments. Syed described the opportunities for participation in the NTA, particularly subcommittees that require volunteers.

In little groups, the fellows explain gives they are working with and also obtain valuable idea coming from their peers as well as advisers at NIEHS.
