From: marc hause Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2011 3:02 PM To: Jeffrey Epstein Subject: stuff dear jeffrey Hope all is well on your end. Things here a=e ok. There has been some positive support in the press, which is a nice c=ange. Don't know if you saw the NYT piece by wade, or this one in Real=learScience (httpliwww.realclearscience.com/printpa=efiurl=http://www.realclearscience.com/artides/2011/05/18/accused_hary a=d_scientist_should_be_vindicated_106238.html chttp://www.realclearscience.com/printpageflurl=h=tp://www.realclearscience.com/artides/2011/05/18/accusedhar vard_scientis=_should_be_vindicated_106238.html> ). The Harvard situation is still uncertain, but hopefully=some kind of clarity will emerge over the next few months or so. Independently of whether I return to Harvard, take another =eave, or some other combination of options, I am writing to see if you mig=t be willing to provide some support for an initiative that I have launche= to create a Center for Learning and Understanding (CLU), one linked to us=ng the insights from the cognitive and neurosciences to ameliorate the sor=y situation of education in this country. It will be linked to the school = mentioned (penikese) that deals with extremely high risk kids, but will a=so serve to develop new tools for assessment, intervention, and improved c=pacities for critical reasoning and understanding. We already have a do=or who has provided a gorgeous old house in woods hole that will serve as =he center's base. We are in the process of developing new computer-=ased tools for assessment, intervention and teaching. We have the fortu=ate situation of being located in Woods Hole, a mecca for top notch resear=h (the WH oceanographic, Marine Biological Labs, a branch of the National =cademy of Sciences), and with many in the area interested in creating this=center. But we need some financial support to seed things and get it of= the ground. The house is a huge start. As a teacher, I hope this might=be of interest to you. I can say a lot more and would be happy to speak= We don't need vast amounts of money, just some to get things going. =AOCould you possibly do 50K? am around and free to talk until 1:30 if you want to: thanks for considering this jeffrey. best marc --20cf303ea5ba4aaca004a41aff5e-- date-last-viewed 0 date-received 1306335766 flags 8590195713 gmail-label-ids 2 remote-id 157252 EFTA_R1_00092824 EFTA01777147
