In presenting science communication as a chore to be set aside when there are more pressing needs, you've just proved my and MK's point. A brickbat it most certainly is, and a most offensive one at that. Having been a research scientist who spent significant amounts of time carrying out administrative duties for tenured academics who for whatever reason couldn't be arsed, I know from experience that there is no "or" involved in professional project management. Either you do it or you don't.
