The Society for Technical Communication has a Scientific Communication
Professional Interest Committee (PIC) with about 300 members, who are science
writers and editors in various fields. The manager of the PIC is Mary Zoll. She
doesn't have e-mail, but her phone number is 617-964-6001.

In his note of Mon, July 10, Geoff Hart mentioned several professional
organizations for technical writers. The ones he listed were: the Society for
Technical Communication, the Council of Biology Editors, the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the American Medical Writers
Association.
Does anyone know of such organizations for science writers? Specifically, I am
interested in finding out information about astronomy- or meteorology-oriented
organizations.
Thanks,
