Thanks so much. It is perfect. We answered your questions in the attached draft and we made one minor change. And, sure, we grant you permission to use the movie and also to give it to other users for educational, news media, or research purposes, provided the users credits the source of the image/movie. We really appreciate that you wrote the story about our work.

We plan to higlight the recent findings by you and your colleagues on biofilm streamer formation (reported in PNAS), and the related video, in our publication series, Inside Life Science, which also runs on the public science news site LiveScience. These stories are written for the general public. Would you be able to get any corrections or comments back to me by next Wednesday, April, 24? I've included a couple of specific queries for you in the comments field. Also, please let me know if it would be OK to feature this movie in our collection of research-related multimedia at http://images.nigms.nih.gov/. When we post videos and images in this gallery, we grant users permission to use them for educational, news media, or research purposes, provided that users credit the source of the image. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you. Elia
