Indeed Mike, I think the exact opposite of what was claimed [by Mico?] 
is probably true; there's more support now than there ever was for 
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...
