From: Bamaby Marsh <1 To: "Jeffrey Epstein" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Date: Thu, 07 May 2009 22:13:31 +0000 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 • loana-Carmen Popescu. Ph. D. Organic Chemistry Center "Constantin Nenitescu- from Romanian Academy, Bucharest. Romania • Dr. lulian Rusu I Professor at Technical University Iasi, Faculty of Industrial Chemistry • Stefan Trausan-Matu, Professor, "Politehnica" University of Bucharest, Computer Science Department, Bucharest, Romania; and Princi al researcher, Romanian Academy Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Bucharest, Romania I http://www.racaisol-trausan] 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 are 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. Bamaby EFTA00774664
