Summary
This document describes Jeffrey's philanthropic activities, particularly his no-strings-attached support for 'bleeding edge' scientific and mathematical research. It highlights his financial contributions to Martin A. Nowak's research at Harvard University ($6.5M in 2003) and the Institute for Advanced Study ($500K), and his intellectual engagement with Nowak's work. The document also mentions Jeffrey's support for Murray Gell-Mann and his assistance to students in 2005.

Quote #1
"Over the years Jeffrey has taken a great interest in my research work, which deals with a mathematical description of biological processes. I have had many fruitful discussions with him. Often he would ask questions, which are surprising for me. Often I feel that none of my scientific colleagues would have asked that question, because we are too engaged in our own narrow perspective. Jeffrey's questions and proposals are highly original and always surprising."Source
