Extract

Addressing groups of industrial or academic experts goes with my job as editor in chief of Scientific American, and I enjoy it, but I confess that it inevitably feels peculiar. The audience consists of people who, almost by definition, have expertise or experience in the subjects of discussion. Why should anyone listen to me? I am a journalist—what do I know?This article is adapted from a luncheon address delivered by the author on April 29, 2003, to attendees of the BioTechnica America 2003 conference held in Santa Monica, California.
