Not enough data
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.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project: It's an ambitious effort by an international group of scientists to create a "Genome Ark" by sequencing the genomes of about 70,000 animal species.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project is an ambitious effort by an international group of scientists to create a 'Genome Ark' by sequencing the genomes of about 70,000 animal species. The hope is that through all of this gene sequencing, scientists will be able to answer some basic but important questions like: What makes a bird a bird? What makes a mammal a mammal?

The next four years may be challenging for foreign-born scientists who want to work in the United States. Foreign-born workers account for about half of the doctoral-level scientists and engineers working in the U.S., but the incoming Trump administration wants to make it harder for them to get H-1B visas. Some scientists worry a scarcity of H-1B visas may prompt top foreign researchers to work in other countries.

Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion.
Brain cells are increasingly being found outside the brain, and now researchers have identified specific neurons in the abdomen that control some aspects of digestion.
Not all brain cells are found in the brain. For example, a team at Caltech has identified two distinct types of neurons in the abdomens of mice that appear to control different aspects of digestion.
