Nathan Gianneschi is my niece Elizabeth's husband. (Cat's sister) I asked him to send information about the work he is doing as UCSD. This guy is brilliant and I know you would enjoy him very much. He is a lot like you. He has won awards worldwide and has published several papers. This may be something you would like to help bring to fruition. If you meet this talented young man, you might want him for your own research team! Also, I am sending a picture of the new man in my life! L(we you and miss you very much! Forwarded messag From: Nathan Gianneschi Date: Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 6:21 PM S Dear Pam, Find attached a PDF document that describes in three pages what we're doing. This is absolutely confidential as I'm sure you're aware. I have submitted something similar as a proposal to the Packard Foundation. Have a read and let me know what you think. I would add that one thing that would be transformative would be to obtain funds that would allow us to recruit the very best graduate students to our Chemical Biology program at UCSD. This includes my lab and others. This is how you change the game at a research institute. We have great ideas, and NEED the best PhD students to pull it off. For a program like the one proposed, most of the money goes to student support if the research is done at the university. i.e. their stipends etc. If we had the funds to give say, $10,000 bonuses to students when they sign on to our program, we could truly advance much of this work. For reference, they make $27,000 a year in their normal stipend. So, one year at $10,000 would be a HUGE recruiting tool. Just something to think about.
