   Dear Francis and Richard, I wanted to thank both of you for your support and engagement as my team and I have explored opportunities to accelerate the discovery of scientific breakthroughs by enhancing access to Alzheimer's disease research data. I was great that Richard and Eliezer could participate in the working session last week. I understand that their input and engagement was extremely helpful. I appreciate the NIA's participation in this coalition of like-minded funders to help strengthen the data ecosystem for Alzheimer's disease. I am convinced that better leveraging the data being generated by studies funded by the NIH can accelerate the development of an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. I was excited to hear that the discussion was productive and that the group agreed to work together to improve data access, drive interoperability across existing Alzheimer's disease data platforms, and strengthen the data ecosystem for Alzheimer's. I know that NIH and NIA are already making strong efforts to promote data sharing, and I believe these will provide a strong foundation on which we can build. Your partnership has been invaluable, and I thank you for joining the effort to driving a more coordinated data ecosystem. We are already benefiting greatly from your leadership and insight. I look forward to our continued collaboration. Sincerely, Bill Gates

My senior staff and yours have become wonderfully effective colleagues, team members, and friends across a wide range of projects and themes, from HIV/TB/malaria to maternal and child health. But I write now with a different kind of outreach that I hope will appeal to YOU. I write to invite you to NIH as the featured author for the NIH "Big Read" in 2020. This innovative program was developed to foster engaging discussions throughout the NIH community on a single book over several months, culminating with a special event featuring the author of the book. After significant consideration, the Planning Committee has selected your book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World, as our top choice for this year's NIH Big Read. Your engaging writing style and the book's compelling message would undoubtedly connect with a wide audience at NIH, especially since we have made the empowerment of women a major theme over the last year. Through the personal stories in your book, we hope to generate stimulating discussions that inspire conversation and personal discovery. In addition, I think our staff would benefit immensely from your articulation of the values and strategy that serve as the bedrock for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Should you accept this invitation, the NIH Big Read would kick off here in the next couple of weeks with an announcement to engage the NIH community and encourage participation in small-group discussions. The activities would lead to a major event during which you and I would talk about your book, on stage, in an interview-style setting, in our largest auditorium (capacity about 500, with the likelihood of overflow space). A reception where you would have the opportunity to meet and interact with NIH scientists and staff will follow the main event. The scheduling of that event is very flexible and can be guided by your availability -- but ideally we are thinking of a date sometime in May. Prior best-selling authors featured for the NIH Big Read include Siddartha Mukherjee (The Gene) and Ed Yong (/ Contain Multitudes). But this would be a perfect year to feature The Moment of Lift, and I sincerely hope you will accept this invitation to be the featured author. Please let me know of your willingness and availability, and I will ask the planning group to follow up with you to arrange the details. With warm personal regards, Francis

   Dear Bill, Thank you for the message and for the opportunity to work with you and the bgc3 team. Following our meeting with you last October, we have met with Bose, Scott, and Jonah in Bethesda, Santa Barbara, and last Friday in San Francisco. We strongly share your perspective on the critical importance of optimizing the generation, sharing, and analysis of data through interoperable platforms, and we look forward to working toward this priority as a part of the global coalition that is forming around this Alzheimer's effort. Thank you again for your leadership. Best regards Richard

   Dear Tony, I want to thank you for taking the time out of your incredibly busy schedule to join Rashida and me as a guest on our podcast recently. We both appreciated your clear explanations about the state of the pandemic. It would be an understatement to say the work you have been doing around COVID is critical to managing this pandemic. I don't know if anyone can fully comprehend the magnitude of your care and commitment to the health and safety of this country. For that, I am deeply grateful. I wish you and your family good health. Bill . It is much appr .com> 7PM [C]
