From: Lawrence Krauss. To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Re: email silence Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:40:20 +0000 thanks.. re Strategic planners.. how should I have them contact you? I have been loathe to give out your email.. so if you want them to contact Lesley or something let me know. re New Zealand.. pity.. I had hoped I could convince you it would be win-win--- a great place to have a retreat once a year or so with a bunch of interesting people to explore interesting questions, and figured I might even convince you that the strategic research programs that Nancy would foster there would also be worthwhile... or at least worth the $250K or so investment from you on spec.. Seemed the only logistically workable option for the near term for us.

I leave tomorrow on a cruise to lecture and see a total eclipse.. with limited access to phone and email. Really wanted to touch base with you on a few things. I. I haven't heard a response from you about whether you are willing to be contacted by the Strategic Planning team for Origins.. They would want 30 min of your time to ask you questions about Origins, where it is, where it should be going, best way to increase impact, development, programming etc. They are conducting a series of interviews with university officials, external board members and others who have various perspectives on Origins. 2. I have't heard from you regarding New Zealand. I have asked Otago for specifics of what they want to arrange re position, support etc, and what they would need for the first year and then a commitment that they would cover this in following years. I don't know where you are on this, and have gotten conflicting signals. I understand if you are not interested--there is no reason you should be I guess, except to help stabilize my life and work--but I need to know rather than wonder, and I suppose we need to talk about it to find that out. I have no idea what Nancy and I will do if this falls through, and what I will do. We had been planning on doing a move there for her and buying a place there early in the new year. The uncertainty is taking a huge toll right now with great stress for both of us. She wants to leave Canberra next year no matter what, and whether shell move for a job, or for a location will be determined in the next month or so based on whether Dunedin opportunities fall through. As far as my work goes, if we don't finalize things before the end of the year, I have no idea what I will do after that. Hope you are well wherever you are. Lawrence EFTA00699970 Lawrence M.
