Hi everyone
[SIZE=12.8px]My name is Paula and I'm a student at Boston University's Master in Science Journalism Program.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]I am writing a story about cockroaches and decides to join this forum to learn as much as I can about them. The story I am writing about started as a look into the scientists involved in the Cockroach Genome Project - but as I kept learning more about them, the project grew. Now, I am also interested in debunking myths and talking about things that people don't normally know about roaches. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]Which is why I need your help.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]I would love to include in the story the perspective of people who breed them (as a job or hobby). I believe talking about the different species, how they behave and why people like to have them around is a way of informing the readers and make them learn new things about these animals. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]So... Would anyone be willing to talk to me about their own experience with roaches? We can talk over the phone or Skype - and I promise I wouldn't take much of anyone's time. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]If so, just send me a direct message and I can give you all my contact info. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]Thank you so much (I already learned a lot just by reading the entries here).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]Paula[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12.8px]PS- As a journalist, I am using my real name and picture to contact you. [/SIZE]
