Hey all-
just sharing an email from Jimmee Hwang- sounds like things are going great!

Hey jeff,

I can't believe a whole year has gone by since I started EIS and got married. Did you know I drove out to Atlanta the same month I got married? I'm so glad that I decided to do this (both EIS and marriage) although the long distance part is not ideal. I've really enjoyed working in the malaria branch. The CDC really is a unique place with lots of interesting research, no worries about funding, and collaboration with ministries of health and multi-laterals that I would have never dreamed of a year into EIS.

I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing next but one thing is certain and that is I'll be in SF. Greg just signed a 5 year contract! My branch chief has been great and is trying to work out a way for me to work for the malaria branch but be based out of SF. How great would that be?! It's a little too good to be true, so waiting to sign on the dotted line before I get too excited.

Btw, Warren came to visit me while I was working in Ethiopia. Still haven't had a chance to get out to Uganda to visit both Larry and Warren but I might see them at IDSA this fall. A little PRIME reunion.

I might also be spending a little time in SF this month to assist in a Morgellon's investigation at Kaiser Oakland. Maybe I can sneak away to visit the VA spa.

Talk to you soon,
jimee
