Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Nominations

Please note: Only NIH staff can submit nominations.

The Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS), the highest-profile lecture series at the NIH, was established in the 1994 by then–NIH Director Dr. Harold Varmus. Now in it's 30th year, the WALS was created as a way to bring together researchers from across the NIH every week and remains the premier event for hosting world-class scientists to speak on the broad array of scientific topics vital to the NIH mission.

Please help keep this series relevant with your careful selection of speakers that reflects the diversity of NIH’s scientific research and the community’s desire for constant learning and discovery. We are accepting nominations through December 31, 2024.
