[FRIAM] Dear Eric and Bret

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

Jochen, 

 

I have attached my draft letter to the Weinstein brothers.  

 

Elderly as this lists is, I think there are only a few people  on it old
enough to have ever entertained the dream of the Jimmy Stewart
Professorship.  Do you know that once upon a time there was a culture of
ambivalence around getting money for research?   Most of the would-be
academics on this list have encountered a much harsher reality.  And now,
among the Barista's of Santa Fe, I regularly encounter young people whom I
would gladly accept as my colleagues at any university, yet who will never
get the chance.  

 

It's just so f***ing sad.  

 

Nick
