HAMILTON, Canada — The invitation curled from her fax machine, a courtly question scrawled above the signature of a man whose name she did not recognize.
"Would you be willing to collaborate with me on studying the brain of Albert Einstein?"
It was signed Thomas Harvey. Sandra Witelson did not hesitate.
She wrote "yes" on the piece of paper and faxed it back.
"It never occurred to me that it might be a joke," she recalled. "I knew that Albert Einstein's brain had been preserved and that it was somewhere where someone was looking after it."
