Hi Jin-Yi,
I hope all is well with you.
I'm writing to ask for your help in spreading the word about the Simons Institute Research
Fellowships for the next academic year. The original call went out a while ago, and the deadline is November 15, 2018, for the Summer 2019 program, and December 15, 2018, for Fall 2019 and/or Spring 2020 programs. It would be great if you could make sure that
folks at U Wisconsin-Madison are aware of this, as well as other outstanding young people you know. The fellowships are often
