Dear Ms. Simon,

Thank you for your message. Could you provide information on who publishes
(the journal?) "Science Communication"  listed in several places below.

I operate a science writing and communication company near Ottawa, Canada
and would love to get a copy of the journal.

Many thanks,

Cheers,

Jacob Berkowitz
