I wanted to get a bit more info on how it works first. :) I'm assuming there hasn't any funding for the project yet? I probably may not have time right yet to do this but i wanted to find out what you have going on.

Hi, Wendee-

Thanks for getting touch. Flock of Dodos is unrelated to the documentary; my
publisher named it that for some reason. We'd love to have you involved in
the capacity of assisting a freelancer on science pieces; I'm forwarding
this to Seb Gillen, who's now running that operation. You should also
download an IRC client and join us at irc.freenode.net #projectpm, where we
collaborate on various tasks alongside a number of experts hailing from a
range of fields.

Seb, would you mind pairing Wendee with a writer from the list? You might
just introduce them via e-mail and let them work out if they'd like to be
partners going forward. Or, you might e-mail several of them with a
description of Wendee's background and see who jumps at it.

Thanks again.

 Hi Barrett - I just read your article in Skeptical Inquirer that
mentioned the Science Journalism Improvement Program (*
http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/a_modern_solution_to_an_age_old_problem
*<http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/a_modern_solution_to_an_age_old_problem>
), and wanted to touch base and see if you are still doing it, and what
has happened since that article. I’m interested in participating possibly
but I don’t feel I need to necessarily benefit from it since I have a
science not a journalism background and have been advocating better science
journalism and critical thinking for many years. I think I could be of
help, possible. I have a M.S. and was a PhD candidate and NSF Grad
Research Fellow, and have also been writing for 15 years.

Anyway is there a website for the program? Can you tell me more?

PS Re Flock of Dodos - I haven’t read the book but I saw the documentary.
Were you involved with the documentary also? Loved it! I’ll have to check
out your book. I have been an advocate of making peace between Christianity
and evolution, and opposed to ID obviously, for many years. Though I’m not
an atheist anymore, I fully support science, evolution, etc etc and try to
educate fellow Christians about it. Uphill battle… I was writing a book
for Beacon Press but they cancelled the contract on me. Sigh.
