From: "Kosslyn, Stephen" <MMIMMI > To: Al seckel Cc: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Clearing some matters Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2010 15:17:11 +0000 Greetings.. Thanks for the note. I vaguely recalled that you had had some interactions with Chris Chabris, who was a post- doc in my lab at the time. So I checked with Chris, and he said that you had contacted us about studying your girlfriend, who had an unusual neuro condition -- infant or perinatal frontal lesion. He said that you stopped communicating with him after a few weeks of discussing what we could do, and that was the end of it. Unless Chris has failed to remember an actual collaboration (and please do let me know if in fact he's wrong), I would appreciate your not telling people that you worked with me or with anybody in my lab. I appreciate your offer to begin a dialog, but I've resigned at Harvard and am in the process of closing down my lab. Thus, I'm afraid that I'm not the one you should be talking to. With best wishes, s. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittirrirrr/r/ Stephen M.
