Subject: Harvard, CI collaboration

Last month Dr. Yuri Pichugin, the Cryonics Institute's director of research, 
visited Harvard University for two weeks, by invitation of scientists there, 
to collaborate in research at the Harvard Medical School. Results will be 
reported in the next issue of The Immortalist and on our web site.

There was no dramatic break-through, but useful work was done. Needless to 
say, such collaboration is not only gratifying psychologically, but also has 
intrinsic value, since it brings CI the benefit of expensive talent and 
equipment without paying for it. Harvard also benefited, of course; they can 
afford any equipment they want, but Dr. Pichugin's skills and experience are 
rare if not unique in the world. We anticipate further such collaborations at 
major institutions from time to time.
