There is a job opening for a science writer at Analytical Chemistry. If you are a science writer, or you know any science writers (or people who want to be science writers) who want to live in the DC area and have studied science at a graduate level, please encourage them to contact Liz Zubritsky at: e_zub AT acs DOT org.
The job does not require a Ph.D. in science, but only some graduate studies in science, not necessarily chemistry. That is because the job requires reading a lot of scientific papers and the writers have to be able to get a sense of what's important about a paper quickly.
If you know anyone who might be interested, please share this.

Some people just seem to be natural writers -- they can write perfect, elegant sentences with a minimum of effort. Some popular fiction novelists crank out 6 or more novels per year. Some bloggers write 10 or more posts per day.
