​​​Showcasing the New Look of the NIH Green Zone Newsletter!​

​​You may notice from clicking on this article that the NIH Green Zone Newsletter has a new look to begin the new year! Our previous issues of the newsletter were published as pdf documents and likely appeared in your web browsers looking something like this:

​

We changed the newsletter to a webpage format, which keeps the style of the old version and combines it with the NEMS website. This provides the benefit of having the NEMS navigation menus available at the top of each article. We hope this makes it more convenient to navigate between the newsletter and the NEMS website. There is a lot of useful content for NIH staff on the NEMS website, so we hope you’ll have a look around the site! Creating the newsletter as a webpage also provides better tracking information about which articles are most popular, which can help us develop content that is more desirable to NIH staff.​​

​​We are also looking for feedback regarding this change. If you think this new look is beneficial or if it could be altered even further, let us know! Please send any comments to the Green NIH mailbox. We greatly appreciate your responses!
