Thanks, Jean-Francois Gariepy 2013/11/13 Jean-Francois Gariepy Hi Richard, Unfortunately this is impossible because NEURO.tv is not associated to Duke University. I am simply a researcher at Duke University and we have no formal agreement with them that would allow me to obtain the money afterward, although NEURO.tv is planned to become a Duke organization in the next year. If it is a problem to give to a non-profit that has not yet obtained 501c(3), you can also make the check payable to myself, Jean-Francois Gariepy, as an individual, and send the money at the same address. We need to have access to the money very fast to insure the success of the Kickstarter campaign and we hope that Mr. Epstein will understand the tight time frame that we are working with. In any case I guarantee that we have applied to obtain the 501c(3) and that I will send you a receipt as soon as the status is obtained. Please tell me if Mr. Epstein is still willing to contribute to our cause under these conditions. If giving to a non-501c(3) organization means some costs to you, we are willing to take a reduced amount of money too. Jean-Francois Gariepy EFTA00976145 2013/11/13 Richard Kahn we must make check payable to a 501c(3) therefore we will make out to Duke University should we still send to your attention at address below? please advise thank you Richard Kahn HBRK Associates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue, 4th Floor, New York New York 10022 tel fax cel On Nov 12, 2013, at 2:14 AM, Jean-Francois Gariepy > wrote: Dear Richard, a) who shall check be made payable to?

Please let me know when you would be ready to send the money, this will help us with the planning of our budget for Season 1 and the continuation of our Kickstarter campaign. Our address is: NEURO.tv Inc. 401 Downing Street Apt. R Durham, North Carolina EFTA00976147 USA, 27705 Thank you once again for your generosity which is very moving. We will use this money to produce a unique academic platform that will make its mark in science education history. Jean-Francois Gariepy Postdoctoral fellow Duke Institute for Brain Sciences Duke University 2013/11/10 Jeffrey Epstein [email protected]> Let's start at 25k On Sunday, November 10, 2013, Jean-Francois Gariepy wrote: Dear Mr. Epstein, Your trust in our initiative means a lot to me and Diana. I am attaching a brochure which describes the different types of partnerships that we offer. We are looking at funding the initiative using two methods. First, the Kickstarter campaign at http://kickstarter.neuro.tv seeks to gather funds from scientists and the general public who support us and our goal of $25,000 needs to be attained before the end of November. Secondly, as described in the brochure, we are looking for one or two major institution or foundation to partner with, or many smaller donations from multiple foundations and institutions. We would prefer partnering with one or two major donors. The total amount of money needed on the institutional side ranges from $20,000 to $50,000. The exact amount needed depends on the requirements of the donor. For instance, if a main donor was willing to share sponsorship of the program with Duke University, who has expressed interest in sharing sponsorship, then $20,000 would suffice. If you would like to fund the entire initiative, then we would need something closer to the $50,000 mark. The Kickstarter campaign can be contributed to directly on the web, while institutional donations can be made by check to "NEURO.tv Inc.". Please let me know which type of partnership you would be interested in and I can give you our address. As you know from our previous email and campaign on the web, NEURO.tv is an innovative platform that not only seeks to produce an interesting show on the brain but also regroups some of the brightest minds in neuroscience and philosophy for one hour while they discuss about what matters to them and determine what should be the future directions in our investigation of the brain and behaviors. The help of visionary individuals like you will be essential to realize our dream of an academic show that is both scientifically accurate and free to view for everyone. We thank you for your interest in our unique initiative. Sincerely, Jean-Francois Gariepy Postdoctoral fellow Duke Institute for Brain Sciences Duke University EFTA00976148  Diana L.
