Opened the Genomics Blue Ribbon Panel at the Bethesda North Marriott
to plan the direction of genomics research for NIAID. All the stars were there – Ian
Lipkin, Eric Lander, etc. Eric gave a great speech. About the use of genomics in infectious diseases. That evening presented my usual “State of NIAID” talk to the ASM Executive Committee.
Feb. 5 and 6 and Feb and Feb 9 and 10 – 2 worse snow storms in the history of Washington, DC. Shut down schools and government for a week – it was a 0ne (32 inches at IAD) – two (20 inches in DC) punch. During this time we intensified the development of the PHEMCE (Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasure Enterprise) Initiative via Heidi Avery. Getting hot and heavy in that the HHS folks are getting cold feet. Although good friends of mine – Nicki Lurie appears afraid and over her head. Jesse Goodman is forever in the weeds. Peggy Hamburg is cautious but just now is starting to realize that this train is moving.
