Chris...I'm sorry to hear that Cambridge University has decided to make you redundant.
Can I suggest that you make the link more prominent on the SOS podcast page https://www.thenakedscientists.com/sos

My web browser and email program think that this is an invalid email address for Jim Gazzard: jg797@cam.ac.uk
Is it missing an "admin." after the "@"?

jg797@cam.ac.uk is indicated as invalid, even with an "admin."....

Hi.
I've had the same issue with that email address. I left it out in the end but a copy went to Chris and I mentioned directly that this email address didn't seem to be working.
There's no word from him yet but we can assume he is busy and we may just have to solve that ourselves.
This is what I've found:
1. A Google search finds Dr. James Gazzard at Wolfson College, Cambridge with the same email address jg797@cam.ac.uk . So maybe it does work despite our email programmes highlighting the address in red.
2. A bit further down the search results, there is a Dr. "Jim" Gazzard who is associated with the Institutue of Continuing Education at Cambridge University. That's almost certainly the same person since they have the same letters after their name and the email address has the name "james" in it. In that document his email address was given as james.gazzard@ice.cam.ac.uk That document concerned an open day scheduled for the year 2017 so I cannot be certain that email address would still be valid - but if the IT department are doing their job, then the mail server will still catch email sent to that address and deliver it to a new address.
Best Wishes.

Update.... We've got him....

That webpage has a datestamp of 2025. Looks like that email address James.Gazzard@ice.ac.uk is still valid.
