HOUSE OVERSIGHT 029175 • Our team is working toward interviewing and hiring a top science-literate associate producer / dedicated research producer. We've been coordinating with colleagues at HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Association) as well as National Geographic for staffing referrals, and now have a strong short list. This is a critical, long- term position. • We are assessing graphics and animation companies and researching styles and graphic ideas that we might use to communicate some of the more complex ideas. • Our digital team is researching a web extension for the www.closertotruth.com website, developing ideas for a dedicated site neighborhood for "Radical Breakthroughs." We are in discussions with several website design companies, including the company that designed and built our original CTT site, for ideas and bids on creating the expanded site. • By mid-October, we expect to begin to schedule the shoots.
