Perilous Plagiarism
By Patricia McGuire, Contributor
President, Trinity Washington University

Science Writing: The Perils of Pith
By Karthika Swamy Cohen, Contributor
Science and technology writer
I am a fan of Malcolm Gladwell and his brand of writers (their books and articles make entertaining reads and add much to literary journalism and nonfiction); I just have a problem with it being called scientific writing. I read actual science on a daily basis. This is not it.
