Answer:

Some scientists would call writing the most excruciating part of their jobs. Others would say it's an act of joy, or at least it doesn't cause great pain. For a small cadre, writing for audiences outside of their peers--the communications that generally don't count toward promotion and tenure--is also a second career.

To be sure, writing for the popular press is nothing new in science. Veteran scientist-authors such as Carl Sagan were profiled in The Visible Scientists,1 a book that was published more than two decades ago. These researchers and many more are attracted to writing for general audiences in various outlets--books, magazine articles, newspaper columns, encyclopedias, educational CDs--for many reasons.

"The motivation is a very sincere desire to get the word [about discoveries] beyond the academy out into the culture," says Angela von der Lippe, a senior editor with W.W. Norton & Co. in New York. "Oftentimes the language of science is very different [from everyday talk], so it's especially fortuitous when a scientist is able to translate those ideas beyond the jargon into common parlance." She adds that when news about scientific findings comes from researchers, it reaps more credibility with readers.

"I found that writing for a popular audience is actually a good test of how understandable experiments are," remarks Dean Hamer, a molecular geneticist with the National Cancer Institute. Hamer has written two popular books and is working on a third, which is about the biology of the religious experience. "If you can't explain to someone what you've discovered in regular words, then what you've discovered is probably not very fundamental."

Lawrence M. Krauss, Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, professor of astronomy, and chairman of the department of physics at Case Western Reserve University, echoes von der Lippe. He says he has a personal sense of returning a favor to scientist-writers such as Albert Einstein, who sparked his interest in the universe as a child. "Then there's a more general feeling that scientists funded by the public owe it to them to explain what they do, and the less altruistic aspect that unless we explain what we do, we can't expect the funding to last."
