[Editors] Science writing q&a

[Elizabeth Thomson]

I am often asked whether one needs a science degree to be a science  
writer. I do NOT think you have to have a science degree to be a good  
science writer, and apparently Dennis Overbye of the New York Times  
agrees.

Check out the second question in the column below, and Overbye's  
answer. I love it!
