Re: interest in project PM/skeptic activities

Thanks for writing. It sounds like you could indeed be of assistance to Project PM in the context of our science journalism program and perhaps other efforts as well. For the science project, I can put you down as a science-oriented participant with expertise in psychology; let me know if there are other areas in which you are knowledgeable as well. At some point in the near future we'll introduce you to one of our freelancer participants and the two of you can decide what subject matter would work as an article, and then you'll help the writer find good sources for quotes and ensure that the finished product is accurate and otherwise helpful to layman readers.

I'll have my associate Clark Robinson send you some additional information about Project PM and our fundamental goals, which involve the development and promotion of improved methods of collaboration and information flow. We have a number of documents you might find interesting, and our more active participants tend to congregate in our new IRC channel which itself may be accessed at irc.freenode.net, #projectpm (I recommend Xchat if you're new to IRC, but Clark will send along a short guide including other methods of getting on).

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks again for participating in this program.
