If anyone who is writing or pitching any of these is interested in talking to someone who has some expertise in:

Computational Neuroscience

AI4Science

or Complex Systems as it relates to Brain Sciences feel free to hit me up.

I'm a computational neuroscientist working on a PhD dissertation to do automatic theory validation with Drosophila connectomics data using Large Language Models (essentially you propose a theory and the LLMs come up with hypothesis that can be tested purely on the dataset and then the LLMs write some bio informatics code to test those hypotheses). I am also currently working on the machine learning/web monitoring team at the National Drug Early Warning System, am a member of the Center for the Future Mind and Florida Atlantic University's Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, and my home lab is the Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Lab at FAU.

I have thoroughly enjoyed brainstorming/question asking/conversation sessions with folks who make science education videos or articles. In cases where someone's questions have been outside of my expertise I have been able to connect them with colleagues who can answer their questions better or at least send over some high-quality resources. I'm not looking for any money or credit out of this, I have just thoroughly enjoyed these kinds of conversations previously and I would love to have more of them.

Exciting list. I don't know if it aligns with your vision and plans, but I'd be interested in a compact but well-done report on the status of S. aureus vaccine development.
