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

24 gigs, jobs, and opportunities await you in this newsletter. But before that, I owe you an explanation for not being regular.

Earlier in April, I embarked on a new journey and opened a science-themed store in a retail space. This is an extension of science-y things I want to do, and work with creators like yourself.

In this store, we have some merchandise, puzzles, games, books (fiction and non-fiction) and much more - all centered around science.

The weekends, when I would work on this newsletter, have become extremely busy as I spend time talking to random people about the importance of science and how to make it a part of their lives.

The rest of the week is back to science writing, leaving little time to look for gigs. I hope to resolve this in the coming weeks, but until then, you will have to bear with me.

Before we get to the gigs, I do have a request. In case you or your friends have a science-based product (book, game, app, course) that you are working on or that is ready available, do get in touch with me. I would love to have it in my store.

Reach out to me by replying to this email or via LinkedIn.

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