For your information, I no longer write for the IntertechPira/Pira International publications Nanomaterials World (formerly Nanomaterials News) and +Plastic Electronics. From December 2006 until recently I was the sole provider of news reports and feature articles for Nanomaterials News and Nanomaterials World.

I have greatly enjoyed working with researchers and industrialists active in nanoscience and technology development. However, I have no choice but to terminate my relationship with IntertechPira, even though this means that, for now at least, I have no opportunities to write professionally about nanoscience and technology.

If there are commissioning editors out there reading this post who are looking for a scientifically-literate writer who can cover this field for their publication/s, they are welcome to contact me. I have an extensive network of expert contacts, and much experience in précising developments in materials science for educated but not necessarily specialist audiences, crossing the boundaries between physics, chemistry, biology and medicine.
