NIH audio research reports

National Institutes of Health Radio doesn't have forced banter or weather reports, but it does furnish short audio reports about new research funded by NIH, health advice, and other medical matters. You can listen to the programs, which some radio stations also broadcast, at this site. Recent topics include gene therapy to combat melanoma and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of the first permanent artificial heart. A new set of stories goes online each Friday. For longer programs, check out NIH's podcasts.
