A mate of mine writes for New Scientist and told me a funny story once about a convention of (British) science journalists where someone asked for a show of hands from members who had science degrees.

Not very many at all was the answer, around 3% if I recall correctly.

That shouldn't really be a problem. The skills to 'do' science are very different to the skills to 'communicate' science. My experience is that most of my science colleagues were appalling at talking to the public.
