Should We Continue Reading and Writing about Science?

This question has been circling in the minds of journalists and readers alike. As a reader and a soon to be journalist (hopefully), I believe science has always been important and that people have always needed science for their everyday lives.

It's just that journalists nowadays don't focus too much on science and also, readers are starting to take science for granted. But one thing I'm sure of is when the time comes that science writing is gone already, that would be the time people will realize the importance of science. People would ask themselves...

Why haven't I read about science when science articles were still alive?
Why haven't I written about science when no one else were writing about it anymore?

Not all bloggers can be considered journalists. Still, some of them can be considered journalists as long as they also adhere to the principles journalists adhere to- some of which are truthfulness and accountability.

Now that the number of journalists writing about science continues to decline, it is sad to know that even science bloggers are now stopping writing about science.

Though scientists can of course write about science, still not all of them can communicate well with their readers. They are so used to complex ideas and complicated terms that they seldom realize that the world they are writing for is not exactly the same with the world they are working in.

Here enters the job of journalists. That is to know for whom to write, how to write it, and how to connect what they write to the people they are writing for.

All of this is just a matter of connection. How to make it work? It's up to us.
