Hi Lesley!

Any feedback from Mr E after my last phone call?

I'm writing to invite Jeffrey and you to our Institute's Board meeting/gala at the Faculty Club and Fogg Art Museum at Harvard on Monday Nov 6th - the info is attached in this pdf draft that is being circulated among our Board members. 

Attending the Board mtg would provide JE an inside look into our Strategic Plan (though not commit him to joining the Board).  The other 3 events are fun-filled - I think he would especially enjoy hearing and meeting Dr Krause:  Bernie has done everything from play session guitar for Berry Gordy in the early Motown days to replace Pete Seeger in the Weavers to teach Brian Wilson how to use a Moog to record with George Harrison to score over 100 Hollywood films (e.g., Apocalypse Now, Love Story) to get a Bioacoustics PhD in his 40s, whereafter he built the world's largest archive of natural soundscapes - about 10-20% of which are now extinct! 

Bernie's Program in Acoustic Ecology & Music Culture is  one of our 5 research divisions: Program in Auditory Neuroscience (Siemens invited an Executive Summary this yr re: creating an AudNSci Center);  Program in Learning & Edutainment (Exec Summ of proposal to revolutionize Tx of dyslexia in hands of Disney-Pixar thanks to Siemens President);  Program in Health & Medicine (Center proposal going to Paul Allen via his oncologist in Seattle whose cancer ctr is part of a multi-center clinical trial);  & Program in Technology R&D, which inegrates/develops all the Programs' R&D work with potential for-profit spinoffs for the music, audio, hospital-bed, and other industries.

I'm also attaching a Society for Neuroscience Press Release of new abstract out of the Health & Medicine Program - out of 14,000+ abstracts published for this month's annual meeting, the SFN's Education Director selected only 700 for inclusion heir Press Book.  (This one may be of particular interest to new moms!)

Will call later today (Tues). 

Best,
Mark
