Hi Deepak,

I hope you had a nice weekend. I have an update re: the press relea=e: I sent the latest version (attached) to the Mount Sinai Pres= Office, for their review. At Mount Sinai, I draft releases for our=team at the Icahn Institute/Genomics Dept, but the Mt. Sinai Press Office needs to formally review, edit, and approve=each press release before it goes out.

The Press Office reviewed our release, and reminded me that we have a =eneral policy to not quote individuals or foundations who helped fund</=> the research study,in press releases re: the research itself.=C2 Also, they strongly recommend that we only quote individuals who are=authors of the research study, in the release.

So, my apologies for this change at this late stage, but would it be O= with you if I removed your quote from the release?

Please know that I believe what is most important in terms of r=aching people will be the media interviews AND the social media activities we wil= do together.

I'm planning and hoping that you'll be an integral =art of all media interviews for this research, and all social media ac=ivities (such as Twitter Chat, Facebook Live, etc).

Eric and I will refer all journalists to you, to hear your=perspective on this research, and all our social media activities can be j=intly done, and coordinated together.

I regard the press release as a "very conservative" =C2 (and restricted due to Sinai policies) version of our messaging, wher=as with the media journalists + social media -> we have more latitude &=mp; flexibility.

Please let me know your thoughts. Once again, I'm sorry=for having to propose this change in the release, and I hope it's =K with you.

Thanks,

Glenn
