$15/moAdvisory PlusYou get to personally choose a topic once every six months.
Fine print: We might need to negotiate the details to make sure it is practical. This is limited to general science lesson and overview type topics; if you want me to do an analysis of particular research, prepare testimony, or such, please contact me about my consulting business.
Also, if you are in a position to consider a substantial one-off grant, please contact me directly to avoid unnecessary fees. This service is really only efficient for facilitating modest ongoing shows of support.
$20/moPersonal ConsultLike Advisory Plus, except that instead of choosing a topic for me to write about, you can choose the have a confidential personal science lesson, suggestions about something you are working on, or such.
Once every six months, I you can ask me to personally explain something in detail, or edit and comment on an essay, testimony, or other material you are writing, or something similar. (Think in terms of two hours of my time with email conversation or telecom if you prefer. Please note that I will not write a document or a piece of one as part of this. For that you need to contact me about my consulting/freelance writing biz.)
