​​Check out the New NIH Green Zone Newsletter Archive!

​​We encourage all of our readers to visit the new webpage for the NIH Green Zone Newsletter​. This webpage has been recently updated to include a searchable archive of all newsletter articles. The website now looks like this:

                                                         

Articles can be filtered by the year or month they were published and by selecting one of the designated tags. Each article has been assigned up to three tags based on its content and these tags can be selected from a dropdown menu. A few examples of these tags are energy conservation, waste management, green labs or sustainable acquisitions. If you are looking for a specific type of content, these tags will allow you to see only the subset of articles that apply. You can also search using your own write-in option to find articles that contain this keyword in their title. These functions should make it much easier to find any article from the newsletter!

If you happen to encounter any errors or difficulties while using this webpage, please email Josh Haines with the details. We are also interested in hearing feedback about how well this page works or how it could be improved. We hope you find this page useful! ​
