To: Smith. Judi Bcc: From: MARK TRAMO Sent Thur 2/2/2017 8:05:48 PM Subject To Dean Smith re: Spring course; Grant/Donor Happy 2017, Judi! I just had a conversation with a patron of The Institute for Music & Brain Science who is interested in making a donation to UCLA (with overhead) that would provide salary for me to work on my book, tentatively titled "The Music Instinct. Mind, Brain & Culture". I have already signed on with a top literary agent in NYC at [CM Talent (Kris Dahl). Also, I received the happy news that Professor White and the Neuroscience Program will fund at least part of my Music Mind & Brain course this Spring Term. Thank you for planting the seed that made that possible! Might you be available to meet next Wednesday 2/8 or Thursday 2/9 to discuss the above? Cheers, Mark Mark Jude Tramo, MD PhD Dept of Neurology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Dept of Musicology, UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music Director, The Institute for Music & Brain Science Co-Director, University of California Multi-Campus Music Research Initiative (UC MERCI) EFTA_R1_00917044 EFTA02203892
