Barrett,

Thanks for the email - it sounds like an extremely worthwhile project.
My speciality is astronomy, although I've been a little out of that
academically for a while. Nevertheless, I'm intrigued by your mention
of working with you and the administrators - could you give me some
more information there please?

Many thanks,

David

David-
We don't have much interest in formal credentials; I've just taken a look at
your website and in particular your page on the tour you're doing of science
centers and your reasons for doing so, and I think you'd be of extraordinary
assistance to us in general. If you'd like to advise a writer, let me know
the particular branches of science in which you're most knowledgeable and
I'll put you down on our list. But you also might be interested in working
with myself and the other administrators as time permits as we oversee the
project in general.
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).
Anyway, get back to me after you've heard from Clark, if you would.

Hi there,

I'm a UK-based science presenter and writer, and I'm interested in
your project. However, as neither a science journalist nor a current
academic I can understand if I'm frozen out somewhat. Nevertheless,
I've been going around North America this summer doing reviews of
science centres and so on, so I keep in touch that way, along with
presenting the twice-monthly Jodcast.

If I can be of any use, please let me know.

Many thanks,

David
