<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Editors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The State of Connecticut is planning a review of its publicly funded stem cell research program (for which I am a past advisor), and they may be looking for a science writer to draft the final report, in consultation with an advisory panel
that will oversee the review process. The writer will need to be familiar with stem cell research, and should be able to evaluate & summarize questionnaire responses from academic researchers who received funding through the program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The project does not yet have final approval, but I am told this will probably happen soon. The project is expected to last about 3 months. The fee will be negotiable. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone knows of science writers who might be appropriate for this, please let me know, or put them in touch with me.
