To Whom it May Concern,

I am the associate producer for an upcoming show produced in southeast
Michigan that will focus on getting teens excited about math and
science-related careers. For each episode we have a teen investigative team
interview an "expert" who fills them in on the facts behind their job. The
reason why I contacted you all, is that for an episode called
"Meteor-wrong," one of the characters thinks he has a meteor, yet is not
sure. The character then decides to interview a "planetary scientist"
(geologist? geochemist? astronomer?) to find out if the rock is a meteor or
not. We are looking for an expert in meteoritics in the southeast Michigan
area who would be willing to explain his or her career, how meteors are
formed, and then go into explaining how meteors are formed and how to test
them for validity.

If anyone knows any information about who would be suitable for this role,
or who I could contact for more information, it would help greatly. Keep in
mind that we are not looking for just an expert, but an expert who can also
engage teens and make science cool.

Thanks for your time!
Abbey Morris
