Welcome to this week’s edition of The Science Freelancer.

27 gigs, jobs, and opportunities await you in this newsletter.

Sorry, the newsletter did not reach your inboxes over the weekend.

Didn’t expect the weekend to get so busy. So, all the gigs are here. No bonus edition this week.

If you want to connect with other science writers around the globe, with a paid membership.

Subscribers in India can buy coffee/membership directly using UPI.

UPI ID: ameyapaleja-2@okhdfcbank

Coffee = INR 250 (One Time)

Membership: INR 875 / month

Now onto the gigs!

I include many full-time gigs and some roles that are not directly related to writing because these are opportunities for growth.

You may not be able to apply to these opportunities today but look for skills that are in demand and what you can learn to get there.

I am sure you’d learn something new if the job paid $150k-$250k a year.

Before we get to the gigs, a word from our advertisers
