"Treat Reporters as Gentlemen".

The author comments on the concept that scientists are bad copy, inaccessible, uncooperative and uncooperative. He asserts that the statement is an unfair characterization, by and large, and takes exception claiming that many scientists work with reporters easily. He suggests that scientists are well-organized and are not offended at being asked for a reasonable amount of their time. They also have little trouble in describing the details of their work in fairly nontechnical terms and even benefit from a good interview's give-and-take.
