June 9, 2013 - Had dinner with the Heads of International Research organizations (HIRO) at the Hyatt Bethesda Hotel. Francis Collins is the Chair this year and so they meet in the USA. Francis asked me to be the after dinner speaker with Eric Goosby. I spoke about the threat of MERS-CoV and H7N9 Influenza and Eric spoke about PEPFAR.

    June 4, 2013 - Had dinner at Matisse with Bob Bazell, 38 year TV medical reporter for NBC. He is leaving NBC to join Yale Faculty. He is a trained microbiologist before working for NBC. He must have interviewed me hundreds of times over the 30 + years of HIV/AIDS. We have become friends and he wanted to have a catch-up dinner and tell me of his plans.

    June 10, 2013 - Met with Tim Hallett (of the UK's London School of Tropical Health and Hygiene) and Eric Goosby in Eric's office to discuss Tim's mathematical model for concentrating PEPFAR's efforts on "Hot Zones" of infection within a given country as opposed to targeting whole countries or regions. Mark Dybul is very much in favor of this approach and since he is now Executive Director of the Global Fund, he wanted me to convince Eric that PEPFAR should take this approach. Hence, Mark arranged this meeting of me, Tim, and Eric. Eric in his usual good careful approach is somewhat skeptical of "Models"
