Comfort Dorn

Managing editor of @ASBMB Today. Used to be in newspapers, but I drifted. The stories now are all about science -- but they are still stories.

When asked how to address the gap btwn. science & society, @ProfRuthMorgan responded w/an analogy: There are thousands of pollinating species of bee, but only a few can make honey—just as certain scientists can act as diplomats, storytellers & connectors.
