Cambridge in 1992, and after gaining experience in
editing scientific documents he founded SCITEXT
CAMBRIDGE in 1995. The principles for effective
science writing and the history of
science writing in this website were written by Dr
Garrett. He is concerned with the communication of
science at both expert and popular levels, and has given
