misc.

Dear Dr. Brockman,

This is Lydia from Prof. Martin Nowak's office.

EFTA01152824

Prof. Nowak would like to thank you very much again for your invitation to the Edge Master Class on 15-17 July 2011.

He mentioned that his son would like to be there too and wonders whether EDGE can kindly cover two people's hotel room(s) for 3 or 4 nights (14, 15, 16 July).

Also, will EDGE cover/reimburse his other traveling expenses (e.g. flights, ground transportation, meals, etc)?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Best regards,

Lydia

JE,

feeling better?
I am. Thanks.
The neurologist says

And I met one of O'Leary's (the surgeon) four daughters - she was at Max's wedding, of all places. Turns out he's not a devout catholic. Worse: he's a devout Morman!. And his daughter's a knockout!

Nowak's asst emailed me (see below) - he wants to bring his son (and book an extra room and extra day at our expense). Not what I had in mind. What to do?

Still waiting on a lot of the digerati people. Kahneman thinks that unlike 2007u when everyone showed, they are all now suing each other and are at each other's throats. I am going to invite more of the cognitive science heavyweights and turn it into something of more intellectual significance.

Example: I have six sessions set. Right now there are four speakers. What do you think of bringing in Jerry Coyne or Dawkins to spend one session debating Martin about his NATURE paper on group selection. (This would be in addition t Martin having a session on his own ideas).

At farm through Tuesday noon. Call and catch up if you're in the US.
