Scientific JournalistA scientific journalist is a journalist who specializes in writing about science topics. A scientific journalist needs to be proficient in two areas: as a journalist, he must write well enough for magazines and newspapers, and as an amateur scientist, or at least as a dedicated learner capable of following complex science and explaining it in simple terms. Many scientific journalists, after years of experience, are expert enough on a subject to publish entire books about a topic, e.g. astronomy, oceanography, geology. These books are a major channel for public education - often a scientist's writing is too terse to be enjoyable, while a book written by a good scientific journalist can interest the generic reader and convey a great amount of information.
