Totally Tubular: With Olympian grace and lots of spirit, more than 500 NIHers donned running shoes and shorts and sprinted around the campus on a glorious September day to participate in the annual Institute Challenge Relay Race. Pictured above, dressed as tubes, the "ECCENTRIFUGES" came in 30th in a field of 107 NIH teams; from the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biology, NCI-CCR, they are (left to right) postdoc Mirkka Janka-Juntilla, postdoc Frank Comer, postdoc Lakshmi Balagopalan, postbac Rishi Surana and postdoc Kelsie Bernot.
