Seeking NIH Geneticist as early (paid) reader of Science/Adventure Novel
I'm looking for a one or more readers to vet the science and NIH-specific details of a science/adventure novel. This is a "hard science" book along the lines of Carl Sagan's "Contact," but with certain spiritual elements. The ideal reader would be someone with a graduate level genetics background at the NIH, but who is open to possibilities beyond rigid, scientific reductionism -- -- somewhere between Richard Dawkins and Francis Collins.
Willing to consider a reading fee for the right person.
If you meet the requirements and are interested, you can find the contact information for the person who posted the ad here.
