So you know those science communication publications that write accessible articles about research?
I got an email recently from one saying "We are interested in featuring your research in an upcoming issue of our magazine" and "Would you be available for a 10-minute exploratory phone call?"
I responded by asking what the publication's business model is.
And of COURSE the (very long) response boiled down to "we will charge you $2000 to publish this article."
What a grift.
