I want to be a Public Information Officer at a
university or scientific institution.
I want to be a science writer and educate the
public about science and implications of
scientific discoveries in their daily lives.
1- What makes you tick
2- What makes you uniquely suitable
I love and have plenty of experience in scientific writing. I also
contribute articles regularly to my blog where I simplify my
research for a non-expert reader. I have an active Twitter
profile and regularly converse with science journalists. I find
that my passion for science lies more in communicating it
rather than doing experiments. I believe having public
understanding and support for scientific research is vital for
advancement of science.1/27/2018 息Captive Touch
