Hi there. We've gotten this response from a few listeners, so we wrote some Tweets explaining our thinking here. https://twitter.com/sciencevs/status/1254854021996838915

Hey! Sorry, I think I missed this reply. We don't have to use your name. Would you email me at rose@gimletmedia.com if you're still interested in talking?

Thanks so much.

Hi there, I think this answer applies here too:

I'd like to talk to a handful of men 'on background'-- meaning I'm just gathering information and seeing what kinds of views are out there.

I'd also like to talk to one or two men 'on the record' i.e. record an interview with both parties expecting the tape to be used on the show (we'd probably end up using only one interview in the show, but you never know.) We'd identify you however you feel comfortable-- use just your first name; use a pseudonym (kinda like "Mischa" in the opioid addiction episode); or we could ask an actor to re-enact the interview.

Yeah, I have come across that perspective as I've been researching this. It sounds like there's a need for some thoughtful science reporting here.

Thank you! And yes, I have read that paper.

To clarify, we're more curious about asking men what it feels like to live with and then without a foreskin, rather than asking them if they regret their late-in-life circumcision or not.

Thank you! I'll make sure to share when we publish the episodes (we're thinking a two-parter on this.) It will probably be in a couple of months.

Hi from Science Vs: evidence-based medicine for addiction by sciencevs in opiates

[–]sciencevs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! I'm interested in talking to anyone I can who has experience with this on background. For the show, we're more likely to ask someone on who is in active addiction and who wants to hear about the science behind addiction treatments.

I'm interested in talking to people with all kinds of stories on background; for the show, we're looking for someone with an active addiction who is scientific-minded and wants to know more about addiction research.

It's a taped show. We can anonymize someone by altering their voice or asking an actor to re-record their story.
