Barrett,

I'm definitely interested. Are we thinking in terms of specific ideas we'd like to pursue, or that the scientists in question might have, or are we just supposed to come up with something we're interested in...?

Hi, Erik-

The project I mentioned to you a few weeks back was launched yesterday, and since then we've recruited about two dozen scientists, some of whom have extraordinary backgrounds. We only have five or six good writers at this point (although that will probably change when we post on craigslist's "writing gigs" section, which I don't look forward to), so if you'd still be interested in writing science pieces for sale to mainstream publications, let me know and I can either assign you one of the better scientists or I can share our Google doc listing all of them and their areas of expertise and you can pick one yourself.

Here's a link to the announcement which includes more details on how this works and why we've decided to do it; get back to me if you'd like to proceed.
