Dear Mr. Liu,
We started the Cell article in July, 2011 through an invitation from the journal to Louis. The Chinese version was submitted on September 1, 2011, as requested by the Cell editor (translation started on August 25).
The Lasker nomination was submitted in January 2010.
Lasker foundation sent some people to China to investigate, and the nomination was known among some people in biology field in China. For example, Someone not related to malaria field in China told me the nomination in July. His information came from a Lasker Committee member. So it is not surprising that Rao heard something.
Mr. Liu, please keep our other nomination private (as Louis indicated). It is a messy issue and any hint of nomination will cause problems.

大家看了这些内幕,还会认为饶毅是推举屠呦呦得拉斯克奖、甚至于诺奖的功臣吗?
饶毅,作为你的大表叔,我也奉劝你一句:人要有自知自明。不是你的,就别伸手!

诺贝尔奖评选委员会从不公布谁是推荐人,但新华社记者5日在采访美国国家卫生研究院科学家的过程中,意外得知今年生理学或医学奖得主屠呦呦的推荐者——美国国家科学院院士路易斯·米勒,而且这位知名疟疾研究专家从2010年就开始年年向评委会推荐屠呦呦。
米勒同一实验室同事、屠呦呦诺奖另一名推手、美国国家卫生研究院资深研究员苏新专讲诉了事件的前因后果。
