Subject: Interview request for Science Careers
Dear Prof. Bar-Natan,
I hope this email finds you well. I am a writer for Science Careers, a
publication of Science magazine and AAAS, and I am working on a piece about
data sharing and open notebook science. I am hoping that you might have some
time to speak with me about your experience with open notebook science, why you
think it?s important, and its career implications. Are you by any chance
available some time this week? My deadline is next Wednesday, so I would be
grateful if you could get back to me at your earliest possible convenience.
Many thanks for your consideration of this request, and I look forward to
hearing from you.
Best regards,
Rachel

 Dear Rachel,
Everything I have to say on the matter is within my open notebook, at
[link]
This said, I don't mind talking. I'm free today after 5PM EST and my phone
number is ***-***-****. Tomorrow my phone number will be the same but I will
only be free after 6PM EST.
Best,
Dror.

Dear Dror,
Thank you very much for getting back to me so quickly. It would be great to
speak to you about specific career-related issues that are not addressed
directly on your ?About? page, so if it?s okay with you, I?ll plan to give you
a call around 5 PM EST today. I look forward to talking to you then.
Best,
Rachel

In the spirit of open science, perhaps the right way to conduct our interview
is in the open. I seek your permission to put our exchange in my notebook
(phone numbers and your email address removed) and to also post there a
recording of our conversation (I'm assuming you will record our conversation
and hoping you'd agree to send it to me).
Truly,
Dror.

conversation.

Ok, our exchange so far is on this month's page of my notebook, at
[link], as item #14. It may move later.
Best,
Dror.
Added 5:27PM: Had a lovely conversation with Rachel Bernstein, but recording software failed.
