COMPANY/PUBLICATION: ASTERISK

Call for pitches!

We like to joke that we're the only general interest magazine that publishes 5,000 word essays on social science methodology. But we've decided: no more softy stuff

Issue 13 Asterisk is doing Hard Science.

Science, meta-science, public epistemics. Biology, energy, the environment, drugs, clinical trials. CRISPR, cancer, consciousness. How do we best fund science? How do we best communicate science? How do we do science better? How do we do science faster?

We offer $2,000 for pieces in the 3–4K word range. Drafts due in October. Please send a 2–3 paragraph pitch and writing sample to: submissions@asteriskmag.com
