Eric Gilliam is a Fellow at the Good Science Project. His primary roles there are twofold. As a researcher, he writes the FreakTakes Substack. FreakTakes provides detailed operational histories of all-time great science and engineering teams and funders. As an advisor, he works with those who run and fund scientific teams to help them incorporate the lessons of history's best labs and funders. Before starting the FreakTakes Substack, he worked at Steve Levitt's Center for Radical Innovation for Social Change at the University of Chicago.
