The Science Writer will create educational content for the general consumer by finding and interpreting newsworthy scientific advances. The ideal candidate can jump into the literature of a new field or topic and quickly become familiar with key concepts and terms. Most importantly, the Science Writer must be able to attract and keep a reader's attention.
