Date: January 11, 2014 16:15:42 -0500 To Dear Mr. Ito, My name is =ames Weis--I am a first-year PhD student in the Computational and =ystems Biology initiative, and am currently conducting a research =otation in Ed Boyden's lab. My background lies in computer science and synthetic =iology. However, I am interested above all in the beneficial, =ntrepreneurial application of technology--something you have achieved =n a consistent basis, from Creative Commons, to Neoteny =o., to Mozilla. I know you are very busy, and I am not even sure if =ou normally meet with students. However, I was hoping you would have a =ew minutes to discuss these objectives and how one could best pursue =hem--both at MIT, and beyond. As your career is one I especially =dmire, your time would be very much appreciated. In any case, have a great evening, and thank you for =our time.
