Hello Underknown folk
What fun and informative videos - if nothing else I've found a new distraction! Seriously though, as a PhD qualified wildlife biologist I do have the research skills and interest to seek out great content for your channel and to deliver the information needed to fit any given brief. Your "how to survive" series does interest me, but if you have opportunities in your "crazy creatures" strand that would be an even better fit to my interests and knowledge base. If my skills and experience may be of interest to you, I'd be happy to discuss your position further and how I could contribute. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello. I am really interested in working with you in this project. Indeed, there are lots of "underknowns" or "unknowns" in the world. As a research and development Engineer, I have mostly been focused on finding existing engineering problems and creating solutions for them. I would not say that it is directly connected to the various "unknowns" there are in the world. However, I do see a lot of things in common. This is why I find your project really captivating and would highly appreciate a chance to work with you. I have been reading the attachments you posted, I am already working through the brief on "How to Survive a Dam Break." I would love to get in touch with you via chat if you're available. We can talk more about your full expectations as well as my resume and some other ideas that I have. Looking forward to connecting with you.
