Hi HazyJane, thanks for your reply. I've finally spoken to someone there, and it seems they're launching next year. The content is apparently to be used as teaching aids for undergraduate students. A local contact is a good idea - I'll check it out.

I submitted my thesis last month (hurray!) and am preparing now for the viva. I'm looking for work for next year, and my department forwarded an email from a company called Mouseion (www.mouseion.com) who pay PhD students and post-docs to write 'critical commentaries' on various topics - they pay per report, so it seems a possible way of getting some money while I'm looking for something more permanent. I was wondering if anyone has worked at all for this company or knew anything about it? It's difficult to see from the website exactly who the writing is aimed at and what happens to the 'commentaries' - and they're not answering the phone.
