Dear Jeff:
I finally heard from Chuck Harper, who is visiting anthropological sites in South Africa at the moment and
has been a little hard to reach.
Regarding Eastern Europe, not too much luck- these are the names I got, and I don't know any of them,
so probably not too useful:
• Enn Kasak, Associate professor of philosophy of science, PhD, Tallinn University, Estonia
ennk@tlu.ee]
• loana-Carmen Popescu, Ph. D. Organic Chemistry Center "Constantin Nenitescu" from
Romanian Academy, Bucharest, Romania Ipopescujoana_carmen@yahoo.com]
• Dr. lulian Rusu [rusu_iulian@hotmail.com) Professor at Technical University Iasi, Faculty of
Industrial Chemistry
• Stefan Trausan-Matu, Professor, 'Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Computer Science
Department, Bucharest, Romania: and Principal researcher, Romanian Academy Research
Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Bucharest, Romania Itrausan@cs.pubso

Chuck suggested Tegmark at MIT, and I think that we might be able to do something related to
a new grants competition programs that look at creativity, innovation, and efficiency in the
context of biological membranes, but the question is who arc the people?

By the way I had a quick follow-up chat with Krauss in Arizona- what he is doing is important,
and I have encouraged him to think about long-term directions/strategies (bigger than simply
raising the endowment and convening famous people, which is only a start). I'll reconnect with
him soon.
