The NIH Catalyst, the research news publication for and about the NIH intramural community, seeks a few good interns (one or two at any given time). Anyone interested in exploring an alternative career in science writing or in acquiring new skills should consider a detail to work on the Catalyst. With the support of their home institutes, full-time detailees can relocate to Building 2, Room 2W23, for up to three months. At the Catalyst, you can learn all aspects of producing a news magazine, including:
Arrangements for

Catalyst. Contact Fran
