Spread Thin

So, judging from the discussions of the last few days, a modern science writer should have:

- a deep knowledge of statistics and an ability to evaluate scientific studies
- photographic skills
- web layout skills, preferably with a specialty in Flash
- broadcast experience of some kind (or at least some experience with video)
- an ability to determine what aspects of a story are best told in text as opposed to image.

(anyone care to add any more?)

... I’ll stick with my PhD program in neuroscience, thanks.
