Greetings, Bernie!

Just got this email from a student - this is the time of year when The Institute gets scores of inrquiries from young people around the world interested in doing summer internships at The Institute...I had 14 graduate, medical, undergraduate, and high school students in my lab last year - all full-time on a voluntary basis, some who got summer research program awards from their universities, most not...

So this fellow is interested in what you're doing. Their ultimate rewards are career development and letters from us bearing The Institute letterhead supporting them when they apply to graduate school, jobs etc.

Would you be so kind as to at least reply re: opportunities to work/volunteer with you, reading materials etc?

## Cheers,

Mark

## Dear Dr. Tramo,

My name is Josh Degallier, and I am a sophomore at Winona State University in Minnesota. I randomly came across the web site for The Institute for Music and Brain Science. Your field of study interests me a great deal. I am currently a Cell and Molecular Biology major and have always had an obsession with music and sound in general. I have always fanatiiszed a career in something music related but also have a fascination with science. I understand the importance of finding a career I love and you seem to have combined both of the things I desire in a career. Is there any way I could find more information about your area of research or other programs like it?

Thank you for you time.
Josh Degallier
