Human Genome Project director; NIH director 2009–21; The Language of God on the consilience shelf; the data-sharing request of the Hamburg meeting
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
NIH director, 2009–21 — the data-sharing request of the Hamburg meeting. In Jonathan Hare's account (S-192), he and Jack Lewin met numerous times with almost every FDA commissioner of the era, and Francis Collins is on that list. This page is deliberately thin: it exists so the archive-miner pass over Hare's email can attach the dates, rooms and substance. Their account is invited meanwhile.
The public record, at web grade. The gene-hunter (cystic fibrosis, neurofibromatosis, Huntington's contributions) who directed the Human Genome Project to completion, founded and led NHGRI, and served as NIH director from 2009 to 2021 across three presidencies — the longest tenure in the institute's modern history; author of The Language of God, the geneticist's argument that science and faith are one inquiry. In this record's network: he is on this graph for a question, not a title — it was Collins's request that the FDA share data with the NIH, relayed by Peggy Hamburg in the three-hour meeting, that Eric Haseltine answered with 'the only viable approach I've seen' (S-192); and The Language of God belongs on the same shelf as this record's consilience argument — the unification of faiths and science is the corpus's own essay subject. Florence Haseltine's NIH is the same building.
