I don't think we need a sit down interview. It would be good to have this as a walking tour... with time for Q&A/discussion along the tour. We would like to make sure that Bill has a good portion of the tour/discussion dedicated to the scientific discussions that you point out below (highlighted). Are you able to propose an outline of how the 60 minutes might get split out in the tour? Finally, should I connect our communications/filming team with someone at your end? To sort through logistics, etc. Best, Bose **[2017-05-15T15:51:00] unknown:** Dear Robert, Thank you for the update. I don't think we need a sit down interview.

Dr. Fauci and Dr. Mascola (the VRC's director) would offer a 15 min scientific overview or the VRC's research and capabilities, and then proceed with a 45 minute walking tour of the facility. Does this align with your office's expectations? As discussed, the tour will focus on structure-guided immunogen design applied to vaccine development for HIV, RSV, Flu, PIV, MERS and related CoV The contact for the film crew is Jennifer Routh, cc'd on this message She can offer detail on what the different spaces will look like at the VRC and where the crew can leave and/or set up any equipment during the visit.

The elements of the tour outlined below are also good. As you outline your minute by minute, we would like to see the technical aspects that will be covered in the 45 min walking tour. I have heard a lot about the wonderful work at the VRC, so I am sure it will be tough to squeeze everything in within 45 min. we are excited about hearing more about the structure guided immunogen design work in the HIV, RSV, Flu and related areas.

Typically we have followed Bill on the "non-conference room" and "non-confidential" parts of his visits, capturing the learning he's doing. We also typically take 5-10 minutes at the end of the visit and have Bill stand outside or inside for a "stand up" interview where he runs over what he just saw.

They are right next to each other on campus and are connected by the road and a courtyard/sidewalk. We can talk specifics about what's happening inside VRC tomorrow--I just found out they are amending the schedule.
