   Thank you.
3. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
   So, I mean, I've seen comments where people seemed shocked that the mice ended up there. From your standpoint, is that valid?
4. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
   No.
5. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar
   Okay. Can you elaborate?
6. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
   Well again, the whole purpose of open science is that reproducibility is key. And so if you publish an important paper, people oftentimes ask you for those reagents to either do extensive additional studies or to actually repeat the studies. And so reproducibility is key, and to do that, that's why the NIH wants you to share reagents with people that ask for things.

   But the NIH was also concerned when they later learned that potentially these mice were being sold or -- I mean, was that not a concern later on, in 2020?
8. 2026-04-10 09:00 Ralph S. Baric open
   I don't know if NIH was concerned. I know DC.Scheduling@LexitasLegal.com that Ralph Baric was pissed off.
9. 2026-04-10 09:00 Christina Salazar open
   Can you tell me a little bit about that?
