THIS MONTH:
 Museum staff and volunteers recently headed to Fort Detrick for its annual Take Your Child to Work Day event. The Museum just one of several organizations at the event. Attendees young and old learned about traumatic brain injuries, the human body, and more. Many walked away with bones painted on their hands. Thanks to all who came out to the event and check out the Photo gallery online.
 Couldn’t make it to our July 12 Science Café featuring author Matthew Algeo? View pictures from the event in our online photo gallery.
 Sign up for a Museum outreach program! The Museum is taking some of its most successful tours and programs on the road to various locations, such as schools, libraries and community centers. The Museum will take a break from conducting outreach activities in August, but will resume those programs in September. To schedule an outreach program, please call the Tour Program Manager at 202-782-2500 or e-mail nmhminfo@us.army.mil.
