The job of scientists and journalists

In my opinion, the thing these professions have in common is the communication of facts and truth. They are very similar, and I am personally attracted to both.

My job is to disseminate what is true. To further develop that point: to communicate information which is most likely true, given the information/evidence at hand.

I like that. I like that a lot. It's a cool job with a lot of responsibility to not only scientific peers but also to the public, and future generations of humans.
