Vetting Committee WantedA few days ago I received a message that said in part: "I am a scientist ... at the University of Pennsylvania ... I am working on [the problem of] sleep loss
Some of my work was mentioned
http://www.neuroscientistnews.com/research-news/memory-problems-caused-sleep-deprivation-prevented ..."
I did a cursory examination of the facts, and have found that the project is real and that the dots connect. Now I would like to have the researcher and project vetted for association fitness.
To me this looks like a good project, I want it checked thoroughly so that the board can make a truly informed decision.
I would appreciate it if 5 people would volunteer to join this committee. I will appoint a committee chair and will provide some guidance, the committee chair will determine the exact direction that the committee will travel.
Let me know if you are interested in being a part of the vetting committee for this important project.
