Assignment

On a total of one side of one sheet of paper, using 10 pt type or larger, with standard interline spacing and margins, respond to all the following.

You are Michael Coen. You have just taken a job at the University of Wisconin at Madison. To get going on the next phase in your career, you have decided to apply to the National Science Foundation for a modest grant to take your work on cross-modal coupling to the next level. You have decided to solicit letters of support from a few prominent scientists, including Winston. Winston says he would be delighted to help, but, alas, he asks for talking points in the form of a draft letter.

Supply the draft letter.
