Re: Science Journalism Improvement Project

We're not booked at all; we are capable of bringing on as many scientists and journalists as we can get, as we're operating under a system whereby we merely put down each person's info in a database, introduce them to a complementary individual, and then allow them to work as they'd like (although we do provide editing and placement assistance to anyone who requests it). We'll put you down in the database and get back to you presently with someone whom you might like to work with. Or, if you can access shared Google Documents, you can look through the database yourself and let me know if any of the journalists interest you. Also let me know if you'd like more information about Project PM in general.

So I only just now heard about this project through your League of Ordinary Gentlemen post. Presumably you're all booked now with scientists, but let me at least offer my name in case you find yourself needing another. My background is in astrophysics, fluid mechanics, and large-scale computing; http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~ljdursi . I'm a Senior Research Associate at the Canadian Inst. for Theoretical Astrophysics, and a Computational Scientist at the SciNet HPC centre, both in Toronto.

I think projects like yours are incredibly important, and want to help any way I can.
