JAY OWENS
In January 2016 I started a newsletter called Disturbances.

It's about dust.

Dust is interesting.

So far I've persuaded 2,200 subscribers and some journalists of this fact:
  • The Blissfully Slow World of Internet Newsletters | profile in WIRED
  • A Speck of Dust | 15 minute talk for BBC Radio 4
  • After We Die, Our Dust Will Live Forever | featured guest on WNPR's Colin McEnroe Show
