Dear Emily, Thanks for your follow up note. I am delighted to know that this invitation is under consideration. Attached please find a more detailed description of the NIH Big Read program, and a possible draft agenda for what the visit might look like (though that is entirely open to revision, depending on how Melinda would most like to spend her time at NIH). A June visit would be just fine. Looking at calendars, June 19 and 22 would work particularly well, but there are lots of other options. Just let me know what would work best for Melinda. We are truly excited at the possibility of being able to host Melinda for this year's Big Read. She would have the chance to inspire many scientists, from young trainees to senior leaders, both women and men. Best, Francis

    Hi Francis, Thanks very much for being in touch. We manage Melinda's communications and events, and would like to learn more about what you propose below. >> >> >> >>} Could you please share a bit more about the event? Also, I see that you mentioned aiming for May timing. If we could arrange something, would late June work as well? Thanks again for this kind invitation.

    Hi Jackie, This looks promising. Do you have a formal description of the Big Read program that would go beyond my initial letter to Melinda? If so, can you send to me so I can respond to Emily. I assume we'd be fine with a date in late June. FC

    Hi Dr. Collins, Great - we are getting closer! We have two dates held on your calendar and Masur's calendar: June 19 and June 22. Can you check with Emily on those dates? If those don't work, we can definitely find other options in June. See attached for the formal description of the NIH Big Read program as well as a draft detailed agenda for you to forward to Emily. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Jackie
