doing and how your specimens can help. I want their proposals in their own words so that those here who may volunteer their specimens/histories understand the research goals and perhaps can decide which if any of these project they want to contribute their tissues to. These emails must be worded in a diplomatic fashion.

As you know, people always wonder what kind of personal gain is behind
an offer of this kind...sort of sad in a country with a long history of volunteerism. That is why it was so worthwhile personally approaching these people face-to-face so that each could appreciate the others veracity, motivations and humanity.

I am now unpacking to find the card of the 4th researcher (the one interested in the immune system's role in her2+ breast cancer) as well as the posters of the Alabama researcher and the immune researcher so I can place the links here so you can get a taste of what these people have already done. I hope they will provide me with a list of what they hope to do. The researcher from London was not a speaker or poster presenter... we happened to be looking at the poster of the gentleman from Alabama during the period I was discussing the possibility of providing samples/histories

I will also be eagerly awaiting their email replies to see how eloquent they can be in presenting their research goals.
