Dear Dr, Lederberg:

Many thanks for your note concerning Dr. Bjorksten's protein
cross-linkage theory of aging.

Iam giving some consideration to spending some time as a
layman in raising funds for basic gerontological research. Do you
consider this a worthwhile project, or merely a waste of time?

2. Do you feel that there is a surplus or a shortage of research funds
available for such research? Can individuals not associated with

3. an institution readily obtain such research funds, or are they available
to scientists affiliated with institutions? Are you acquainted with
4 any specific projects in need of research funds which you consider
‘ worthy of immediate investigation? Does it seem unreasonable to you
_ to anticipate a significant advance toward our understanding of the
S.

causes of aging by 1970?
Your comments on the above subjects would be most appreciated.

With kindest regards,

Sincerely,

 

Paul F. Glenn
