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

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

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.

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.
