Daily Science News Service

The Scientific Library offers a daily service to help NCI at Frederick employees stay current with science news.  The Daily Science News Service is an e-mail service.  Library staff maintains a list of e-mail addresses of interested NCI at Frederick and Frederick National Laboratory people.  Each day the staff sends out e-mails about current issues on science, health, NCI at Frederick, and the federal government to that list of people.  The topics are wide-ranging and come from a variety of sources.  The service is designed to help recipients stay informed on current scientific topics.

The number of daily emails varies between 5-15, with more emails going out on Mondays and Fridays due to the weekends. The emails are sent 2-3 times throughout the work day and are not contained in digest form. Email addresses are sent via the “Blind CC” (Bcc) option to maintain anonymity. This service is designed as a group email list, and is not a listserv.

Any NCI at Frederick or Frederick National Laboratory employee can sign up for this service. To sign up:

  1. Send an email to: DailyScienceNews@mail.nih.gov
  2. Subject Line: "Sign Me Up!"
