NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY New York Zoological Park New York Aquarium Bronx Zoo Bronx, New York 10460 Animal Research and Conservation Center Telephone: (212) 220-5100 Osborn Laboratories of Marine Sciences Office of the General Director March 6, 1981 Dr. Joshua Lederberg President The Rockefeller University 1230 York Avenue New York, New York 10021 Dear Dr. Lederberg: I enjoyed talking with you last week about the Society's new research fellowship programs in endocrinology and reproductive physiology. As you suggested, I telephoned Dr. Bardin at the Population Council, and he was quite enthusiastic about the project. We had a lengthy discussion about the forms our collabora- tion could take. Dr. Bardin offered assistance in a nun- ber of ways, including help in recruiting applicants for the two fellowship positions. I am writing to him with a description of the research projects we hope to conduct in association with the Council. I will keep you informed of our progre’ss. Thanks for your help, and best regards. Sincerely, WY Y illiam Conway WC/sk
