Jon Hamilton’s coverage primarily focuses on health and scientific topics, particularly neuroscientific research. He heavily relies on data in his articles, indicating a preference for evidence-based insights.
Given Jon's focus, he is likely to be interested in pitches from experts with a strong background in neuroscience or related fields such as brain injuries, fainting, brain circuits, language comprehension studies and other topics mentioned. They should be able to provide scientifically backed analysis or commentary based on solid evidence.
As Jon has a national geographic focus (United States), sources with expertise or experience within the U.S. healthcare and scientific community may be especially relevant for him.

Some weapons used by the U.S. military are so powerful they can pose a threat to the people who fire them.
An experimental cancer drug that helps the brain turn glucose into energy was able to reverse memory loss in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have created an AI model that can predict some fruit fly brain signals. It was able to predict the activity of neurons in a fruit fly by looking at how those neurons were connected.
Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain.
