In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Okay. Why don't we skip to that.

    I mean, from my perspective, and just looking at it from a scientific perspective, he made major contributions into identifying emerging infectious disease hotspots around the world. He worked extensively with China on SARS coronavirus in 2003. He's sort of a microbial ecologist, very different field than I do. But we would have mutual interests to talk about emerging viruses.

    And did he have people on the ground over in Wuhan in early 2020?
  4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    So I was not part of his RO1 grant that went from like 2014 to 2019. So on that grant, as you know, part of that money went to the Wuhan Institute of DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com Virology. So I guess you could say he had a collaborative group in China, and I would imagine that he had people moving back and forth between the two, the U.S. and China.

  6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    You'd have to ask him those questions. I wouldn't know.
  7. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    Okay. And then what about Ian Lipkin?
  8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
    Yeah, another good friend from Columbia University. But what's the question?
  9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
    So my understanding is that he also worked out of the Wuhan CDC at times.
