Writing a Screenplay – Anyone Want to Help?

I was an English major in college, so I’m out of my element here on a science blog! Anyway, I’m writing a screenplay (script for a movie) about a scientist who experiments with the ionosphere. I have the characters, plot, theme, etc., pretty well set but I need help with some scientific details. Also I’m looking for someone to review the script to make sure the dialogue reads like a true scientist is talking.

Unfortunately I can’t offer payment for this help – but I can offer a research credit.

If you don’t have time to help, perhaps you can suggest someone who can? I’m hesitant to contact scientists who are doing actual ionospheric research because at the end of the movie the scientist screws up in a major way and disaster ensues. It’s a great story but it does question ionospheric experimentation.

Any suggestions?
