I tried to spell out as clearly as I could that I did not advocate splitting
this list. Obviously my spelling is not up to scratch.
I was really thinking of making the jobs bit accessible to more people. It
would be easy enough to subsrcibe this list to anything that appears on
PEST-JOBS.
I agree that it is great to see what is going on here in the recruitmnet
area. But this list misses swathes of the community of people involved in
communication. There are few journalists here. There are not many university
PR types. And how many members of STEMPRA subscribe? Indeed, PSCI-COM is a
pretty narrow church.
Maybe the answer is to attract the others to join the fun here. But I'm not
holding nmy breath.
There is a model for multiple lists in the USA. There the National
Association of Science Writers runs about half a dozen lists. They have a
lot of people with time on their hands. They run a separate recruitment
list.

I think that the current list works very well, it serves as a good
introduction to the field of science communication and allows a person who
is new to the field to gain knowledge of both activities within the field
and the types of jobs available within it. As a student who has been on the
list for some time I have found it useful to be able to observe and take
part in discussions occasionally whilst considering my approach to job
hunting in this area. I think that if the e-mail list were separated into
two some people would inevitably only belong to one, and as a result they
wouldn't benefit from the experience as much as I have done.
If any jobs do arise on related e-mail lists, wouldn't it simply make sense
to forward them to the list (with the necessary apology for cross-posting)?
Some of the jobs advertised of late haven't been directly related to science
communication but have nonetheless been posted by some members, which has
been very useful for me at the least.
I hope you find my comments constructive, regards
Marianne Field
