I'm hoping to organise a working lunch in the East Midlands during the spring on the topic: Communicating Science: For Love or For Profit? This will explore whether it is possible to make a profit out of science communication, the state of the market-place for this type of information, what changes are needed to make the market work more effectively, what motives people to do it etc. I'm looking for a business-based science communicator who is making a profit and willing to talk briefly to a small group of newbies/hopefuls about what is needed to achieve this wonderful feat. Expenses and a small fee would be payable.
