What did you think about the blurb I sent for the foundation. Sh=uld I flesh it out and make it look more formal? Is the rough idea OK?

As we tackle a kind of "head in the clouds and feet on the ground"= approach to questioning and coming up with new fundamental mathematical a=d scientific theories, we are also deeply practical, groundtruthing our th=ories and testing ideas through the development of new tools and experimen=s. We propose a new program for "One Science" to bring faculty, stud=nts and researchers from many disciplines and institutions together to dev=lop a new meta-discipline that breaks the boundaries created by the tradit=onal constraints of academic disciplines and government funding. > On Aug 4, 2018, at 21:13, jeffrey E. <[email protected] <mailto:jeevacation=gmail.com> wrote: > https://www.nytime=.com/2018/08/03/business/donor-advised-funds-tech-tax.html <https://www.nytimes.com/20
