Feb. 24, 2014 - Did the "Nifty-Fifty" talk at Montgomery-Blair High School in Silver Spring. Great group of kids with many questions and interest. I spoke on my career in public service at NIH. Sen. Mikulshy visited NIH and gave "pep talk" about the budget.

Feb. 25, 2014 - Went to NYC for the day to the DDCF Board meeting. Always like this - seeing Nan Koehane, Jim Gill, Ed Henry, Peter Nadoscy, John Zuccotti et al. Someday, I might even be able to take the honorarium

Feb. 26, 2014 - Dinner with Larry Corey at Cesco Osteria in Bethesda. Extremely cold streak of weather in DC over past few weeks. We spoke of Larry concern about DAIDS, the vaccine program, esp. Mary Marovich, whom he feels is a poor substitute for Peggy Johnston. I am also hearing this from Gepi. They worry that Mary and her staff have no leadership and cannot make decisions. Feel that they do not represent me well as did Peggy.

Feb. 27, 2014 - Break-in at my house. Stole only change on my dresser and Euros in my drawer (~$200 worth). Looks like inside job of someone who had key. Perhaps one of many people that we had lent the key to over the years. Have now changed lock on front door. They likely exited out back (porch) door since this was unlocked when I came home at night.

March 4, 2014 - Gave Keynote Lecture at Global Vaccine and Immunization Research Forum at the Bethesda Hyatt Hotel. Big audience of Decade of the Vaccine crowd, i.e. GAVI, BMGF, WHO, etc. Well-received. Much press associated with CROI meeting and new baby cure questions and Carl June gene editing for CCR5. Jim Lehrer (Newshour) contacted me for advice about his granddaughter Olivia who has juvenile idiopathic arthritis. I spoke with him and his wife Kate and made some recommendations and just chatted with them about the disease. Jim was very grateful. Diane Rehm had originally suggested to Jim that he contact me.

March 7, 2014 - The Dalai Lama visited NUH and I went to hear him speak at the Natcher Auditorium. I could barely understand what he was saying due to his strong accent and bad acoustics. However, he won everyone over with his smile and infectious laugh.
