I am not used to asking people for money. If I have blogged for many years, it’s mostly because I find it fun and inherently worthwhile. Still, I also consider blogging to be a public service and no service is likely to be good unless it is adequately financed and resourced.
With that in mind, I hereby invite you, dear reader, to support my work!
This Bio/politics blog and its sister publication, the Genetic Choice Project, aim above all to be useful to professionals, researchers, and laymen interested in biotech policy and its implications for international relations, reprotech (including emerging issues such as genetic enhancement), and population trends (including natalism amd the emergence of ultra-low fertility).
These blogs aggregate and summarize relevant developments, highlight people’s recent work in these fields, and occasionally present deeper analyses of these often complex issues. I want these publications to be both useful to professionals and intelligible to general readers.
The more people subscribe and donate, the more I will be able to scale up activities with more coverage and analysis.
You can provide a paying subscribtion to this Bio/politics blog—focusing on biotechnology and international relations, but also occasionally more personal or general career issues—via the Upgrade to paid button on the top right.
To support my work on reproductive technologies, population trends, and debates on germline genetic therapies and enhancement, consider providing a paid subscription to the Genetic Choice Project.
Subscribers will have access to exclusive paywall content, although I am not sure what that should be. I consider the Reprogenetics News Roundup in particular to be a public service, so that will remain public, but some other content may go behind a paywall.
You can also send ad hoc donations to my PayPal account.
If you want to exchange, have suggestions for coverage, or would like to collaborate, be sure to send me a line at craigjwilly[at]gmail[dot]com. Donors will naturally have a privileged voice.
I thank you all!
