Science+&+Technology+Journalism

== == From scientific discovery to an application of the knowledge, science and technology are changing the way we live in almost every field of human endeavour. Alexander Graham Bell for example would be amazed at just how far the telephone has progressed from his original discovery and invention. Incremental steps or giant leaps the progress continues with scientists and technologists building on the discoveries and knowledge of others. For this to happen of course, the ideas and discoveries need to be published. This is the role of the scientific journalist; perhaps you could become one. =Your brief for the Science and Technology Journalism challenge is to:=
