Shawn Carlson is Looking for Collaborators

I need about ten volunteers who want to make a major contribution to science literacy. There is a very important research project that I just don't have time to do by myself that could affect which educational programs the Federal government chooses to support.

As research goes, it doesn't get much simpler. If you've got good phone skills and know how to do a Google search, you're qualified. I don't know exactly how much time this will take, but I suspect it will be somewhere between 10 and 40 hours. Anyone who sticks it out will get their name on a peer-reviewed paper that's sure to get quoted a lot and might just lead to real changes in science education. 

If you're interested in working with me, please send an e-mail and let me know. 

Thanks!
