+* Network security

+
+* TomF email with R01 program officer
+  - we have new NIGMS program officer for R01
+  - former program officer was Christina Liu
+  - Christina said NIGMS portfolio reassignments led to ChimeraX reassigned to Han Nguyen who is new
+  - Christina say Han's expertise is more in our expertise
+  - Han says he and Christina believe we need to resubmit R01 March 5
+  - Han needs to review summary statement before meeting with Tom Ferrin
+  - Don't expect Han attended our R01 review so won't be able to advise on why they wanted to drastically cut budget
+  - Resubmission, needs 1 page letter, can send draft and get feedback from Han
