people wanting to get into science writing and certainly more students
aspiring to do so and finding their way.

I chatted to wannabe science communicators at Cambridge U last month, i
was great fun and hopefully I nudged a few in the right direction, but
it was frightening to see all these eager young things snapping at one's
heels...
