June 8-11, 2010 - Visited RML for the BSC review. Went with Patty Conrad, Kathyu Zoon, Karyl Barron etc. Had very nice time. Went fishing twice with Marshall Bloom and Patty and a great guide named Jack Mauer. Fishing not good due to high water from rain. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful time.

June 12, 2010 - Flag day at NCS. Alii took the Science, Math and Spanish Prizes. She would have won the Flag (for highest GPA over 3rd and 4th year) but an English teacher who is a known asshole gave her an A-.

June 15, 2010 - Had dinner at the home of the Italian Ambassador to the USA (Villa Firenze - 2800 Albermarle Street, N.W.) I wanted to do this since he is the new ambassador and I have over the years become variably friends with the Ambassador. The previous one was Giovanni Castanaletta. The current one is Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata. I was fortunate enough to sit next to him at the dinner table and so got to know him. Spoke about a wide variety of subjects from Afghanistan to the Oil spill in the Gulf of Azad to discuss Mexico to the economy to science in Italy versus the USA. Very nice guy. Also at the dinner were Bob and Mary Jane Gallo, Susan Blumenthal and a bunch of Italian Pharma people and diplomats.

June 17, 2010 - Met with Minister of Health of Taiwan today to discuss potential scientific collaborations. He said that I was "famous" in Taiwan....interesting. Jean William (Bill) Pape visited from Haiti today and gave lecture at Masur Auditorium. He is a good friend and invited Megan to visit Haiti. He is in DC to receive an award for the amazing work that he has done in Haiti related to the earthquake.

June 29, 2010 - Went with Chris to South Lawn of the White House to celebrate her election to the Bioethics Commission. Turned out it was a massive get together on a very hot day for all Presidential appointees. They were completely disorganized in getting people cleared through the gates and it was a logistic disaster. The delay was probably related to multiple checking of IDs related to the "gate-crashing" of a WH party a few months ago.

July 11, 2010 - Went to Atlanta for the day (Sunday) to give plenary at the CDC sponsored international Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases. Hot July day. I shared the Plenary opening evening addresses with Tom Frieden and Kevin DeCock. Good camaraderie among CDC people and me. Came back to DC that night.
