I'd be delighted to have a conversation about dance therapy for patients with cerebral palsy, especially with a reporter from my undergraduate alma mater! If you could send along some convenient times and a number, I will try to give you a call when I'm driving home from work one night this week, if it's not too late, as I'm on the West Coast. Please send my warmest regards to my Neurology colleague, Dr Aisen, with thanks for the referral - we spent many a long night together during our training in Manhattan at The New York Hospital - Cornell Medical Center and Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Some music, neuroscience, and medicine info pertinent to your interests is posted at www.BrainMusic.org. The Institute for Music & Brain Science is presently looking for summer interns to work on research and writing projects with faculty at UCLA and Harvard June - August. Please feel free to let friends and classmates interested in interdisciplinary work in the arts and sciences know. What College are you in? I'm Trumbull '78. Please visit my roommates and me at myspace.com/MenWithTales, including Ben Singleton's dad, Jamie - Ben is a musician at Trumbull, class of 2012. One of the 14 students who interned at The Institute last summer, Jourdan Urbach, is also a musician at Yale - he's Pierson Class of 2012. I look forward to talking soon - please give my warm regards to Dr Aisen and, if you happen to know them, Ben and Jourdan.
