better late than never?
tom! richard! other assembled parties!
first of all: many apologies for replying so late. i was really overjoyed when i received and read the letter, and did honestly intend to write sooner, but various things got in the way.
anyway, to the subject at hand: i love your idea, and i truly think that if anyone can get it to work, it’s you two. i’m definitely interested in providing whatever help and support i can, but right now i’m not sure where i would fit in. just this week, science has become my day job (i’m a student no more), and i’m now committed to a project for the next 9 or so months here in germany. if that all goes well, i plan to start a phd in cognitive neuroscience, which means a good 3 or more years of hard work.
so, it seems i won’t be in the position to work in this future ideal workplace (unless the science thing doesn’t work out for me), but i’m certainly interested in working with you towards this ideal. if you need someone to offer critical responses to ideas, to do any boring secretarial stuff or bake cookies (idea-shaped cookies?), count me in.
in conclusion: love the idea; might not get to benefit directly from it, but will certainly contribute what i can.
cliodhna.
p.s. i also love to knit, heh heh.
