On Oct. 28, Dr. Carlos Zarate presented a lecture as part of the annual Astute Clinician Lecture series held at the Clinical Center. The lecture was titled Relief from Severe Depression and Suicidal Ideation Within Hours: from Synapses to Symptoms. Since 1998, scientists, such as Zarate, have had the honor of speaking at the lecture series because they have observed an unusual clinical occurrence, and by investigating it, have opened an important new avenue of research.

Dating as far back as the 1980s, Judy Weisberg packed lunch for her husband Bob to bring to work here at the Clinical Center.

However, what was special about Bob’s lunch was not only the meals, but the paper bags each was packed in. |
