Science Journalism

Just like a scientist, I view myself as a very curious person. I constantly have questions regarding how our world works, why we perceive things the way we do, and what makes things the way they are. I am always asking these questions and while I would love to know the answers, I rarely find myself going out and trying to seek out the answer.

So, in short, I took this course because it is an ideal platform to ask my curious questions while having a professional there to answer them for me. That way, I never have to go out and find the answers myself because it is not something I am very good at.

This leads to the reason why I am not majoring in Science. I am majoring in journalism so it is good for me to have my immense curiosity. But my major demands me to go to other professional people and find legitimate answers instead of going out and finding the answers myself much like science majors would through research.

Journalists and Scientists Have Different Roles, But They Share a Goal – An Informed Public
