dear jeffre=
Hope all is well on your end. Things here are ok. There=has been some positive support in the press, which is a
nice change. Don't k=ow if you saw the NYT piece by wade, or this one in RealClearScience
(http://www.realclearscience.com/printpage=?url=http://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2011/05/18/accused_hary

The Harvard situation is still uncertain, but hopefully s=me kind of clarity will emerge over the next few months
or so.
Independently of whether I return to Harvard, take another leav=, or some other combination of options, I am
writing to see if you might be=willing to provide some support for an initiative that I have launched to c=eate a Center
for Learning and Understanding (CLU), one linked to using the=insights from the cognitive and neurosciences to
ameliorate the sorry situa=ion of education in this country. It will be linked to the school I mention=d (penikese) that
deals with extremely high risk kids, but will also serve t= develop new tools for assessment, intervention, and improved
capacities fo= critical reasoning and understanding. We already have a donor who ha= provided a gorgeous old house in
woods hole that will serve as the center'= base. We are in the process of developing new computer-based tools f=r
assessment, intervention and teaching. We have the fortunate situat=on of being located in Woods Hole, a mecca for
top notch research (the WH o=eanographic, Marine Biological Labs, a branch of the National Academy of Scrences), and
with many in the area interested in creating this center. =But we need some financial support to seed things and get it
off the ground= The house is a huge start. As a teacher, I hope this might be of int=rest 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. Could yo= possibly do
50K?
am around and free to talk until 1:30 if you want to: 50=3887686.
thanks for considering this jeffrey.
best
